Curation of Application
How we curate
Chromacon welcomes professionals, students, and hobbyists alike.
However, due to venue space limitations and in order to deliver a high quality event, all applications are subject to a rigorous curation process.
Our jury reflects a wide range of styles, sensibilities, and subject matters to prevent any bias.
Chromacon's curation process is not meant to be a barrier to entry, but rather a support system to help exhibitors get the most out of the opportunity.
Curation Criteria
Originality
Is the applicant’s work their original creation? Fan-art/ tribute works are allowed, but should not be the focus.
Technique
Does the applicant’s work display evidence of refined technique?
Professionalism
Will the applicant present their body of work for exhibition/sale at Chromacon in a professional manner?
