Crafter

Because of our full calendar of events, we cannot reschedule a show for a future weekend if adverse weather arises. If inevitable inclement weather is expected, please check this website for any updates or contact the office to see if the show has been canceled. Shows will be held rain or shine and we will not cancel a show in advance.

Outdoor Craft Festivals

You may make a space request when you submit your deposit/booth fee, or no later than the 3 weeks preceding the show. It must be made before the show is laid out. You may call the office or e-mail your request; please do not verbally make your requests to a show coordinator as we will not be able to keep track of this. Keep in mind that this is only a request and we will do our best to honor it, but there are no guarantees. In addition, we may only have 1 or 2 spaces in a certain area and if 10 people request the same space, it makes it impossible for us to honor your request.

Since all of our shows are juried separately, you do need to apply to each one individually. Acceptance into one show does not guarantee acceptance into all shows. Each application must include photos of your work and display to be considered. Incomplete applications will be turned away.

The jurying process can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks (these times may be longer when new applications become available). Apply early so you are not left wondering too close to a show date. If you apply close to a show date, your application will automatically be RUSHED through our system. Please be patient so that the committee has time to thoroughly review your work. You will be notified via e-mail of your acceptances. Please keep in mind that our office receives many applications on a daily basis.

When you wish to apply for a show or a category that is already closed, you have the option of applying for the waitlist. You would apply in the same manner as you normally would for a show (Zapplication or paper application). If applying on paper, indicate WAITLIST next to the closed show. The show fee will be held un-cashed in the event we cannot locate a space for you in the show. It will not be cashed unless we contact you and you accept your spot in the show. Your deposit will be returned if you do not get accepted.

If you are unsure what category your work falls under, you can always email your photos to info@artfestival.com to be reviewed. Please include a letter requesting that your work be reviewed for the purpose of classification under art or craft and a biography of how you make your work. Our committee will let you know whether your work is fine art or craft under our guidelines. Please note that taking this step is not to be construed as acceptance into a particular show.
