Dear seARTS Members and Friends,
We have received a few inquiries and feedback about the Emerging Artists nomination form which have been taken under advisement. As a result, we are pleased to share an amended form that is clearer and more attractive to everyone. Thanks to the artists who provided the comments that helped us make this a fair program. Also note the deadline is October 5th for submissions.
Please click here to download the form.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
The seARTS Board
