Registered Artists/Venues

Artists and venues have until July 1 to make a connection, sign a Hosting Agreement and secure each other on the website. If an artist does not secure a venue, the artist is not in the event. If a venue does not secure any artists, the venue is not in the event.
The actual number of venues and artists participating in ArtPrize® 2010 will not be known until Connections close July 1 and ArtPrize conducts a final audit.
That said, with registration closing June 17, people are curious about how many artists registered–meaning how many artists have applied to be in the competition and are seeking a venue.
For ArtPrize 2010
226 venues registered
2,249 artists registered (audit still pending)
Again, the numbers above do not reflect how many artists/venues will participate at the 2010 event from September 22 – October 10. Only the number of artists/venues who applied. An artist must secure space within a venue and a venue must secure an artist to participate in the event.
