Florida CraftArt in St. Petersburg, FL, is excited to announce the 2025 Emerging Artist Program, designed to nurture and advance the careers of emerging craft artists. If you’re an artist working in ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry, metal, mixed media, sculpture, or wood, this is an exceptional opportunity to grow your career and showcase your work to the community.
Program Overview:
Juried artists will receive a benefits package valued at over $1,000, including:
- $250 honorarium
- Business mentoring with renowned experts Duncan McClellan, Leslie Curran, and Jennifer Rosseter
- A professional photo session with Brian James, including a headshot and photos of your artwork
- Invitation to a Write Your Artist Statement workshop

A curated selection of your work will be displayed for sale in the FCA retail gallery, offering you the opportunity to understand what resonates with retail customers. Following this, your work will be featured in a two-week group exhibition at Florida CraftArt, running from July 18–27, 2025, with an opening event to launch the exhibition and provide additional exposure and sales opportunities.
As part of the program, you will also be invited to a networking event to connect with former FCA Emerging Artists, collectors, and sponsors, gaining valuable insights to help you build a successful craft career.
