JRA Call for Artists in the Craft Media: JRA Day!

Posted on by |

9th Annual JRA Day – Saturday, December 3, 2016

The James Renwick Alliance (JRA) is seeking media specific artists to submit an application to participate in the 9th Annual JRA Day, a one-day showcase for artists in the craft media.  

Last year’s JRA Day was a great success, with the second highest sales ever. The JRA plans to continue to offer free admission and are expanding efforts to promote the show. Last year, most artists sold individual works at prices ranging from below $25 to as much as $500, and the JRA expects a similar group of buyers this year. 

This year’s event will be held on Saturday, December 3, 2016, at the Woman’s Club of Chevy Chase, in Chevy Chase, Maryland. To view last year’s web site on the event, go to www.jraday.org.

JRA Day is open to all craft artists who are members of the James Renwick Alliance. JRA Day applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are not a member of the Alliance, you may apply for the show, but participants must hold a paid membership in the organization within a month of acceptance in the event and on JRA Day.

Memberships for artists start at $80 per year. For more information on membership in the JRA: 301.907.3888, admin@jra.org, or go towww.jra.org/membership/join-james-renwick-alliance. (The discounted membership level for professional craft artists is ART—Alliance for Renwick Tomorrow.)

During the initial application period, the JRA will give preference to artists who participated in last year’s show.
