BOOTH DISPLAY:

Artists will provide their own 10’ X 10’ or 12’ X 12” canopied tent. What we are looking for is a clean, professional display. Booth spaces may be up to 12x12 feet. All exhibited work should be contained within this 12’ X 12” area. Please always keep your display and storage areas clean and tidy. Extra stock or equipment should be neatly covered or hidden away. All tables need to be covered.

Please, no artwork or flip racks that jut out in front of your booth blocking traffic flow to your neighbor. The front legs of your tent should line up with the marks and/or flags on the grass.

If you need help or need a booth sitter, you will need to make sure you bring extra help for those services. They would need to ride with you because parking is limited. No exceptions. We will not be providing volunteers to help with booth sitting this year, so please keep that in mind.
