JOIN US FOR THE SPRING 2027 ROSE SQUARED SEASON

Why Apply to a Rose Squared Art Show?

More than a booth. More than a weekend. Shows built around artists.

For more than four decades, Rose Squared Art Shows have brought professional fine artists and fine craft artisans together with patrons who come to our shows specifically to discover, collect and buy art.

Our spring shows take place in beautiful parks and city centers in New Jersey and Philadelphia. Each has its own personality, but they share something important: a commitment to original work, thoughtful curation, professional artists and a quality patron experience.

If you are deciding where to invest your time, inventory and show fees in 2027, here is what you can expect from Rose Squared.

MARKETING THAT STARTS BEFORE THE SHOW

We don't expect artists to simply arrive on Saturday morning and hope people come.

Every Rose Squared show is supported by a coordinated marketing campaign designed to reach both our established collectors and new audiences.

• Email Marketing: Dedicated weekly emails to our established Rose Squared patron audience, with consistently strong engagement.
• Artist Features: Participating artists are featured through our website, email campaigns and social media throughout the season.
• Digital Advertising: Targeted campaigns designed to reach potential patrons in each show's market and surrounding communities.
• Social Media: Paid and organic promotion across our social channels, along with content artists can share with their own collectors.
• Public Relations: Event listings, editorial outreach and local and regional publicity.
• Print & Direct Mail: Postcards, printed promotional materials and advertising where appropriate for the individual market.
• Local Promotion: Community partnerships, signage and grassroots outreach that extend each show's visibility.
• Online Artist Galleries: Patrons can discover participating artists before the show and continue exploring their work afterward.

We market the shows and we market the artists who make the show worth attending.

PATRONS WHO COME FOR THE ART

A large crowd isn't enough.

We work to attract art-savvy patrons and collectors who understand the value of work made by the artist standing in front of them.

Our patron audience crosses markets and follows Rose Squared from show to show. Many have been attending our events for years, while our marketing continually introduces new collectors to the Rose Squared experience.

We also communicate with patrons throughout the year—not simply the week before a show—sharing artists, collecting advice, stories about handmade work and reasons to make original art part of their lives.

We are building collectors, not simply counting attendance.

CURATED FOR A REASON

Rose Squared shows are juried and curated with careful attention to quality, media balance and category integrity.

Every participating artist must make the work being exhibited. When work is created through a collaboration, both artists must be part of that collaboration and present at the show.

Why does that matter?

Because when patrons walk into a Rose Squared show, they should know they are entering a marketplace of authentic, artist-made work.

Thoughtful curation also helps create a stronger environment for the artists exhibiting within each medium.

PROFESSIONAL STAFF. ARTIST-FOCUSED SHOWS.

We know what goes into doing an art show.

There are applications, deadlines, travel, hotels, inventory, booth setup, weather, load-in, three long days on your feet—and then load-out and the drive home.

Our professional staff is onsite and accessible, and our goal is to give artists the information they need before they arrive and the support they need throughout the weekend.

We also listen.

Many of the artists exhibiting with Rose Squared return year after year, and those long-term relationships are an important part of who we are.
