Pressie Fest 2025 First Friday Submission

Theme is: Celebrating Cryptids and the Mysterious Lakeshore

Artists, please submit the form below. The show is free to enter! We are looking for artwork celebrating all things mysterious and cryptid; especially to highlight our most gorgeous Lake Superior creature, Pressie. Open to interpretation. 

All artists must be present at the First Friday reception, November 7 from 5:30-8:30pm at The Burrow, 200 E Division St in Ishpeming.

Artists will need to collect their work no later than November 29. 

We will use your images uploaded to the form below to advertise for the event on our website, social media, social physical fliers/posters, local media outlets and other public forms of advertising. By clicking submit, you agree that you are the legal owner of intellectual property rights for all images and descriptions of art sent via this form. You release Bats Amore to modify, transform and publish submitted images for marketing of this event, Pressie Fest First Friday.

Artists must coordinate sales of their work outside of the event. Work must be ready to hang at the time it’s submitted to The Burrow. The Burrow will provide a public venue to display art for the month of November, but artists will coordinate any sales of their work independently from The Burrow/Bats Amore. We can put an email address and price tag under the work for the public to inquire about sales.

Lastly, we don’t support AI generated works. We will not accept AI-generated pieces for display. There are outlets available to sell this kind of work, but we are not it.
