Emerging artists are the future of tomorrow’s art, but it’s not always an easy path. We designed our Emerging Artist Program (EAP) to help ease the journey from emerging artist to successful, experienced artist-business person.

These EAP artists were selected and paired with a Northwest Art Alliance legacy artist who acts as a mentor for six weeks. The EAP artists are awarded a booth space free of charge and are eager to show their work for the first time at the Spring Show.

Visit the two EAP winners, Janet Miller and Cathy Tran, and take a moment to talk to these talented artists as they start their artistic journey.
