  1. By signing this agreement, Artist agrees to display only original work by said Artist. 
  2. It is understood Artist has a canopy and will be provided an assigned 10’x10’ space for single booths and 10’x 20’ space for those assigned double booths (exhibitors set up in a large grassy area). Artist is responsible for providing his or her own display system. Canopy and display units should be designed for outdoor use, capable of withstanding the elements.  Display units, supplies, and exhibiting materials must be reasonably contained in the assigned area.
  3. The aesthetic presentation of the Fine Art and Craft Show is very important to the Festival.  Space between booths is comfortable, accommodating presentation from three sides and ease of traffic flow.  Additional storage space needed beyond the assigned area is reviewed on-site by Festival staff.  Convenient reserved parking allows storage access.

  7. Quality unframed reproductions of two dimensional originals, signed and numbered by the Artist are the only acceptable form of sales in addition to the original works.  Artists must define “reproduction” or “limited edition” through their Artist Statement, and each piece must be clearly and individually labeled as “reproduction,” signed and numbered appropriately.  Reproductions and limited editions may be shown in a portfolio and may not occupy wall space in the artist’s booth.
  8. It is agreed no vehicles are allowed to be parked at or near any display space during the Festival.

  11. Violation of parking rules may result in the artist losing the privilege to park onsite.
  12. It is understood security will be provided on the Festival grounds; however, the Festival can assume no liability for Artist’s works.

NOTE: $35 fee for electricity is due with booth fee and availability is on a first come, first served basis. 
  16. Prior to check-out, Artist will provide an approximate total sales figure before leaving the Festival grounds on Sunday (only used for computing total show sales for marketing purposes).  Sunday check out begins at 4:00 pm.  Artist agrees not to pack up or tear down early, as booths are to remain open to sales until the advertised closing hour of 4:00 pm.  There are often larger purchases made on Sunday afternoon.
