Tips on Entering Our AIS Juried Exhibitions

by Debra Joy Groesser, CEO/President American Impressionist Society

Why Enter Juried Shows Anyway?

You’ve chosen the painting to enter…now what?

The Jury Process!

Download Deb's entire letter HERE as she shares her years of experience of entering juried shows.

Here's just a few paragraphs of Deb's full letter to our AIS members---

" AIS now offers three juried show opportunities as a benefit of your membership: our AIS Impressions Small Works Showcase in the spring/summer, our annual National Juried Exhibition in the fall and now our brand new online exhibition which will be held in late summer. Entering a juried show can take some courage, as not everyone who submits work will have their work accepted. Knowing and accepting that going in, juried shows can be a great way to get exposure for your work ."

"Personally, I take each rejection as a personal challenge to try harder, to make my next painting even better than the last. Do I get down and discouraged? Absolutely! Go ahead and have a pity party for a few hours or a day, but don’t let it overwhelm or defeat you. Above all, be gracious and be professional…refrain from complaining to or about show organizers, judges and jurors about not being accepted, especially on social media. You never know who is following you on social media - could be gallery owners, magazines, collectors – so it’s incredibly important to be professional."
