Jury & Judge Process
Fine Art Fair Artist Selection
Each year, over hundreds of artists from around the world submit their proposal of images and summary of work to be juried into the Peoria Fine Art Fair - one of the top fine art fairs in the country. To select the final body of artists to be showcased, a panel of professionals with varying backgrounds in art education, history, collecting and aesthetics is gathered to score each artist’s work.

After each juror reviews all of the artists and their work, the artists with the top scores in each medium are then invited to participate in the Fine Art Fair.
Fine Art Fair Awards Selection
On the Saturday of each Peoria Fine Art Fair, two special judges review all of the artists’ works in person. They score everyone and determine a select group of artists to be granted $ 6,000 in cash awards. Merits distributed are:
1 Best of Show - $3,000
3 Awards of Excellence - $1,000
All award winners receive an invitation to return to the upcoming Peoria Fine Art Fair.
This year's Fine Art Fair will be the Peoria Art Guild's 62nd annual fair!
