Within the Iowa Artist Directory are three Juried Rosters : the Folk and Traditional Artist, Teaching Artist, and Performing Artist Rosters and two Non-Juried Listings: the Artist Directory and Public Art Artist Registry.
Artists or artist groups listed on a Juried Roster have been selected by qualified reviewers according to criteria established by the Iowa Arts Council.

Folk and traditional art encompasses the everyday knowledge, art, and lore that are passed from one person to another through imitation or word-of-mouth. Learned primarily through ethnic, religious, occupational, or family associations rather than through formal training, folklife genres include a diversity of forms: folk art... music... dance... crafts... narratives... (folk history, legends, tall tales, or jokes)... architecture... beliefs... rituals... celebrations... foods... games. By reflecting a group's way of looking at the world, traditional forms as well as occupational skills and knowledge all serve to identify and symbolize individuals and their communities.
Folk and traditional artists are individuals from a particular cultural, ethnic, occupational, regional, religious or other self-identified group who produce, pass on, and preserve folk and traditional art forms that reflect the identity of that group, e.g. Meskwaki dancers, Lao weavers, Mennonite quilters, or Irish bagpipers.
Folk-inspired art is produced by individuals and groups who are not part of the culture group that originally produced the art form at issue, regardless of the quality of the art.
