Artist Application is CLOSED, and we are sold out. Thank you for your interest in our unique and prestigious event.  If you are interested in exhibiting at the 2011 La Jolla Festival of the Arts, you must be registered at Zapplication.org.  When you do so, you will automatically be subscribed to the Zapp newsletter.  Do NOT unsubscribe from the newsletter, as this is the method we use to communicate with you.  Almost all artist communication, management, and payment is conducted through Zapp.

Communicating with us: It is best to use e-mail: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  We do very little postal correspondence and our phone service is an answering machine.

PLANNING DATE SUMMARY

• Application Deadline: 3/21/10
• Jury begins: 3/28/10
• Jury ends: 4/10/10
• Artist notified: 4/16/10
  Notification happens two ways: on or about 4/16, you will see the STATUS on your Zapp application change from "received" to "invited" or "not invited."   If invited, you must then decide if you will participate and, if you do, you'll change the status to "accept," at which time you must pay 100% of the space rental.  If you decide you won't exhibit, change your status to "decline."  If you can't make up your mind by 5/8, consider "waitlist" and take your chance on some drop-outs.  In other words: follow and control your STATUS on Zapp.  The second notification method is a welcome letter we will email through Zapp.
