If you are planning to apply for Juried Member status during this summer’s jury session, start getting your ducks in a row now.  Doesn’t hurt to start researching what you will need and gathering artwork images.  For more information on how to Jury and tips on improving your presentation, click here.  If you have questions you may write to jurycommittee@bestofmissourihands.org

Individual Juried Artist Membership is open to Missouri residents only. You must be a general member for at least 90 days prior to the date of the jury session and then you may apply through the peer jury process.

There is a $25 non-refundable jury fee. Newly Juried Members will be required to upgrade their membership status by paying  their first 12 month dues of $60.00 via PayPal.

WHY become a Juried Member of BOMH

  • Eligible to participate in a number of events planned specifically for juried members
  • Individual page on the BOMH website. Only one web page per member. If a member juries into a second category, that member will have ONE page on which he/she can place information for all mediums in which juried.  Pages are managed by the artists, allowing artists to easily update information and images as desired.
  • Wear The Best of Missouri Hands Juried Member badge
  • Part of MAA/BOMH’s mission is education. We ask our juried members to participate in educational endeavors, both for the general public and for other members.
  • Juried status is medium-specific, members may apply for juried membership in more than one medium by jurying separately in each category. Acceptance in one category does not necessarily mean acceptance in another medium. Likewise, rejection in one category does not affect juried membership in another category.
  • Membership must remain current to retain Juried Member status and benefits of Juried Member status.  If membership lapses, artists will be required to rejoin BOMH as a General Member, then reapply for Juried Status after at least 90 days.
  • Juried Member dues are only $60/year.

Juried Studios

  • Any two or more Juried Artists who produce the same body of work may apply to become Juried Studio Members of the Best of Missouri Hands for an annual fee of $85.
  • Juried Studios in good standing have one vote.
  • If a Juried Studio changes ownership or medium the Studio will be required to re-jury for Juried Studio status.
  • Juried Studios in good standing are entitled to use the Best of Missouri Hands logo and banner for display and advertising.
  • Juried Studios in good standing will be featured on a single page per studio on the Best of Missouri Hands website.
NOTE: You may only apply for Juried Membership during an open jury application period. Watch for announcements on our Members Only Facebook page , on our website home page,  and via our quarterly emailed newsletter.   Two sessions are held yearly; in the winter and in the summer.
