Guidelines for Prospective Members
Thank you for your interest in joining Foothills Craft Guild. Foothills welcomes new members whose creative handiwork demonstrates stimulating visual appeal, good design, and fine craftsmanship. Before acceptance as a member of the Guild, each person’s work must go through a jurying process. The artisan submits five representative pieces in the selected media category for examination and approval by a committee of fellow artisans who are seasoned Guild members.
All active Guild members are encouraged to participate in Guild activities by exhibiting or demonstrating at Guild shows, serving on committees or on the Board of Directors, or by participating in other activities sponsored by the Guild.

This enables us to make sure we have the appropriate judges to evaluate your work on the day of jurying.
If you are inside the one week window, please email the Standards Chair for additional instructions. We want you to jury, but it is most important to have to have your work reviewed by a judge that understands your field. Specialty judges require notice to participate.
