Fusion Art — Fusion Artist Membership Application
Overview
Fusion Art’s Featured Artist Membership is a non-exclusive, curated program designed to provide sustained promotional visibility for artists across all disciplines. Unlike a one-time exhibition or prize, this membership offers ongoing exposure throughout the year, positioning it as a strategic investment in an artist’s professional profile. The program is open to emerging, mid-career, and professional artists, reflecting an inclusive yet juried approach that values cohesive bodies of work over isolated pieces. The application process requires a $45 fee, which is applied to the first year’s membership if the artist is accepted. This structure signals a commitment to serious applicants while lowering the barrier for those who might otherwise be deterred by membership costs. Artists are encouraged to submit the maximum number of images allowed for the fee, underscoring the jury’s interest in assessing overall artistic direction and consistency. The fee is inclusive of New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax, and payment is required at the time of entry. It is important to note that application fees are non-refundable, even if the artist does not meet the eligibility criteria, such as lacking a qualified website for jurying. Entrance does not guarantee acceptance, and the jury maintains full discretion. This is not a competition with a single winner but a curated membership program that seeks artists whose work demonstrates a clear and cohesive vision, offering them a platform for extended promotion.
