For Artists

Thank you for your interest in the St. George's Art Show. The Art Show opens Friday, Nov. 18 with a special invite-only preview, followed by a Sip & Shop that is open to the public. Saturday, the show will continue, with the addition of a pop up shop by Made in Memphis (held outside), along with other family activities.

Please note, artists will manage all sales directly with buyers onsite at the Collierville Campus. St. George's no longer requires an application fee or 30% of artists' sales. Instead, artists may purchase a 12' booth for $100. The application, booth information, rules and regulations, commissions, and publicity may be found below.
