ARS GLORIA: Public Voting Form (Nominee Tier) – 2026–27 Competition

Are you an artist registering yourself?
Please use the ARS GLORIA: Artist Eligibility Form instead. This form is for members of the public to vote for artists who have already applied and been confirmed eligible for the 2026–27 ARS GLORIA Competition (Nominee Tier). Public nominations help determine which approved artists receive an open editorial feature slot.

If you’d like to support an artist who has not yet been approved, please ask them to complete the Artist Eligibility Form, either themselves or through an appointed representative. Voting in the Nominee Tier does not serve as an application or establish eligibility.

A note from Tennessee Art League President LeAndra Crystal

Before you begin, thank you for helping support Tennessee artists through ARS GLORIA, a statewide visual arts initiative created by the Tennessee Press Association and Tennessee Art League.

Your nomination matters. It helps us understand public support for artists already approved for ARS GLORIA, while contributing to a broader understanding of visual arts engagement across Tennessee.

We recognize that this form may ask for more information than you expected when nominating an artist. These questions are included thoughtfully. Some help us protect the integrity of the nomination process by reducing fraudulent or duplicate activity. Others help us understand where support for Tennessee artists is coming from and where arts communities may need greater attention or resources.

Some information may also contribute to anonymized, aggregated research, including maps, reports, and other resources intended to benefit artists, arts organizations, and communities across the Volunteer State.

Your personally identifying information will not appear in those public materials. ARS GLORIA does not rent or sell your personal information.

We hope you will complete the form knowing that your participation is valuable, your information will be treated responsibly, and your nomination helps strengthen Tennessee’s visual arts community.

With gratitude,

LeAndra Crystal
President, Tennessee Art League
