WaterFire’s ArtMarts are part of a series of diverse arts experiences at the WaterFire Arts Center in the Valley neighborhood of Providence.
ArtMart is an outdoor art market featuring local artists across a broad spectrum of fine art and craft mediums. WaterFire aims to support and connect artists with new audiences by providing a safe open-air venue to sell their work.
ArtMart Information and Artist Application
Please read all of the information below before submitting your application.
In order to be considered as an ArtMart artist, you must complete the 2021 ArtMart Application. ArtMarts are curated by WaterFire Providence. Please note that space is limited and not all applicants will be selected.
When artist spots are filled additional applicants will be placed on a waitlist. WaterFire will reach out to waitlist artists if space becomes available. Please only submit one application.
Each artist will receive an 8′ x 10′ space. For the Outdoor Summer ArtMarts, we are allowing artists to pull up their vehicles next to their booth before/after the event for an easier load-in and load-out. Artists are responsible for supplying their own tables, chairs, and displays.
