ARTISTS

Artists applying must be a Cape Cod resident spending at least six months a year with the Cape as their primary residence. Work must be original handmade or hand-crafted.

Multiple artists may share a shanty but they all must separately apply and be accepted. Please indicate this on your application. If you would like to share but don't have someone to share with please indicate this on the application and we will see if there are other artists willing to share their week. Artists sharing the shanties shall coordinate payments and submit ONE check as deposit and ONE as balance due.

APPLICATIONS AND DEADLINE

Each year, applications are accepted on a rolling basis. The first review date to jury and fill spots is November 1 of each year.
Following this date, applications CONTINUE TO BE ACCEPTED ON A ROLLING BASIS until all spots are filled.

Applicants who submit by the first review date and are accepted get placed for program dates.
This is the advantage of applying by November 1.  Artists who submit by this date will be notified no later than December 31st of each year.

PLEASE NOTE:   there is a rolling application/jury process for any remaining openings and artists are encouraged to always submit an application to be considered for the current season as most often not all spots are filled during the first review.

Artists will always receive confirmation their application has been received and should expect to be notified of either an in person jury date or a decision within 4 weeks of submitting an application.

HYARTS SHANTY APPLICATION

SELECTION PROCESS

Each year is a new year; prior participation does not mean automatic acceptance into the program. Amount of time allotted for each artist varies from year to year.

Each artist's application is reviewed by a jury in order to ensure the quality and variety of work offered. In some cases, artists are asked to come in person to present their work to the review committee. Once accepted into the program, any items not approved during the jury process must be approved by the Town of Barnstable's Arts and Culture Coordinator prior to selling in the shanty. Artists must complete an application and be juried/accepted into the program on a yearly basis.
