Eligibility and Guidelines
Salon 2016 is open to all professional emerging and mid-career artists over the age of 18 living and working in the US. Students enrolled in studio MFA programs ARE encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to artists who do not have the benefit of major gallery representation, major grants, or extensive bibliographies of reviews or catalog essays. Peripheral Vision Arts will select work on the basis of merit to those artists with a proven commitment to their craft through a mastery of technique, innovativeness of concept, educational experience, and/or professional practice, and the degree to which the work invites substantive critical inquiry.
