EBSQ Plus: What it is and how to apply

In August 2001, we introduced the idea of EBSQ+, a showcase of artwork starting at $100 and up, bringing the best works available to our collectors via a new eBay search tool, and hopefully bringing a living wage to our artists.

We decided to jury this category so we could provide more structure and support for our artists, and a guarantee of dedication and excellence from our artists for our collectors. Unlike many juried arts organizations in the United States and elsewhere, we do not require our artists to jump through hoops providing an MFA, resumes, exhibition history, previous art grants, or sales records. We feel this gives an incomplete picture of an artist, and closes doors on many emerging artists of great promise and talent. Rather, artists will be juried in SOLELY on the quality of their art and a brief statement about their work.

Screening takes place quarterly. Interested artists must be a member of EBSQ in good standing, and using all required logos in their auctions.

The next screening takes place 15 December 2003 and is open to all media.
