PENSACOLA — Applications are open for the Great Gulf Coast Arts Festival Emerging Artists program.

The program, developed in partnership with Artel Gallery, gives new artists a chance to be a part of the Great Gulf Coast Arts Festival and guides them on what is involved with arts festival participation.

Applications are open to artists who are residents of Escambia or Santa Rosa counties and have limited experience participating in arts festivals.

Two selected artists will participate in this year’s festival. GGAF will waive fees for the winning artists and will provide a booth and mentor to help guide them through the process.

See www.ggaf.org for more information and an application.

The GGAF is Nov. 3, 4 and 5 in Seville Square in downtown Pensacola.
