Crafter

Since most of our events are held on downtown street venues, we logistically cannot close the street the night before for a Friday set up. Your confirmation letter will state whether or not a show will have a Friday set up. This detail is determined by the property/city and cannot be changed once they have advised us. 

Outdoor Craft Festivals

You do need to send separate checks for all deposits. You may be accepted into some shows, but not others. By sending separate checks, we can return the monies for those shows you are not confirmed for or place you on the waitlist. Balances may be sent in one check. Be sure to indicated which show(s) you are paying for in the memo section of the check.
 

According to our government laws, all sales of tangible goods must be taxed. Sales tax varies from state to state, county to county and at times city to city. You are responsible for researching, collecting and reporting your sales and taxes. You should contact the local department of revenue for the show venue for additional information. Most of the time they have websites. At times, the local tax office does contact us for a list of exhibitors and we are required to comply.

Howard Alan Events and American Craft Endeavors welcome both our artists/crafters and patrons to bring their dogs to our outdoor shows as long as your pet is friendly, gentle, well behaved, kept on a leash and most importantly has an appreciation for the arts. It is you responsibility to keep your dog from disturbing your neighbors. Please note that not all outdoor events are pet-friendly, please check the show location rules prior to arrival with your pet.

Returned checks must be paid immediately with a money order, cashier's check or cash. An additional $36 returned check fee needs to also be included for each returned check. International checks will carry a higher fee, based on current bank rates. The office will contact you upon notification of your returned check. You will need to contact us within 5 business days of our initial contact to make arrangements to clear up any returned checks. Failure to do so may result in legal action and you will be unable to participate in any shows until they are cleared.

You MUST attend and occupy your booth for all days and times of the show.
 

One of the aspects that Howard Alan Events and American Craft Endeavors pride themselves on is the fact that attending our shows allows for the opportunity to meet the artist/crafter personally. It is REQUIRED that the actual artist/crafter be present at his/her booth during all hours of the show.

It is absolutely IMPERATIVE that the work you display be your own, handmade work. We do not allow buy-sell, kits or mass-produced products of any kind in any of our art shows.
