Before the Fair
RESERVE YOUR SPACE
As a benefit of Guild membership, members are invited to select a booth before non-members. Spaces on the deck are 6’x12’; all others booths are 10’x10’. Because the deck spaces are narrow, no tents are allowed on the deck. Umbrellas and small, open canopies that don’t restrict the flow of customers on the deck or through your space may be used. If you need two spaces, please reserve them both when you send us your application. See the insert for location of available spaces.
Cost: 10’x10’ space is $100 for Guild members;
$120 for non-members 6’x12’ deck space is $80 for members;
$100 for non-members
Spaces are reserved on a first-come, first served basis and payment must accompany the application form. No space will be reserved without payment. Please indicate your preferred location(s) on the application and send us the application with the fee. When we receive your application form and fee, we will email to confirm your booth location. If all your choices are taken, we will call you. If you don’t hear from us in 7-10 business days after you have sent your application, please call us for booth confirmation.
Sharing a booth space is permissible. We will address all correspondence to the artist named on the application. The named artist is responsible for sharing all information with all booth occupants. The named artist is responsible for collecting the resort tax from each artist in the booth, compiling the resort tax information for all booth participants on one tax form, and for submitting the resort tax money and form to the Arts Guild on the day of the event.
GATHER YOUR ARTWORK & SUPPLIES
Arts and crafts offered for sale must be well-crafted. We encourage artists to work on their art or demonstrate their craft during the day. All items brought to the fair must be made by the selling artist. Sale or resale of manufactured items is not permitted. See enclosed note. If items are questionable, the artist will be asked to remove the items. Bring your own display materials (tables, chairs, display boards, tent, canopy, tools, etc.) and have enough help to set up.
On a case-by-case basis, we choose a limited number of individuals who represent international artists to join us. Call the Guild before completing the application if you/your group wish to be considered.
The Guild pays close attention during the application process to artists who offer similar items in order to prevent obvious duplication.
Guild members who wish to use their Guild inventory at their booth need to make arrangements at least 4 weeks in advance to pick up their items for the fair.
The Executive Director will make the final decision about the suitability of all artwork offered for sale. If you have any special requests, please coordinate those needs with the Guild staff.
FOOD VENDORS
Concession booths will be parked in designated spaces on West 8th Street and Villard with food windows facing the sidewalks as seen on the enclosed map. Contact the Guild for vendor information.
All booth numbers have changed from previous years. Be sure to check booth number and location on the map.
