I made it! It’s still December where I am! Here are your December deadlines, folks!
Savour this post – if you’re the sentimental type – as the time has come for me to leave shouting about deadlines to the experts/organisations that we all pay money to, to put these details out for us.
As I’ve mentioned before, but permit me one last time… Here’s most of the places I find this info. Good luck!
- Artist Trust – Washington State, mostly
- Juried Art Services – o’course they only know the deadline’s they’re operating
- crafthaus – there you have to be a member (at last check it’s $75/year), but Brigitte publishes all the calls that get sent to her, and members post their own
- Sign up to the newsletter of your favourite/local gallery, or to the blog of regularly occurring symposia/conferences, like the annual ECU symposium that always brings a wealth of opportunities.
- CaFE – Call For Entry site. Check out the site and sign up for email updates. America focused. (I’ve given up re-listing appropriate deadlines from their newsletter – it’s just too long…)
- In the UK? Sign up to the benchpeg newsletter, professional jewellery news, delivered weekly. Euro/Britain focused.
- Klimt02. Newsletter. Epic site. Deadlines.
- Snag’s Springboard – you can get that in an RSS feed, so each new entry will come straight to your chosen portal. America focused.
