The booth fee pays for a 10’ x 10’ space at the fair. Artists are responsible for bringing their own tents,
tent weights, tables, chairs and displays. This is a rain or shine outdoor event. In extreme weather
conditions, i.e. hurricane, the market could be called early. However, occasional pop-up rain showers
are not uncommon in September. You may wish to invest in tent sides if your products will be seriously
damaged by rain. We kindly request no early dismantling or departures. Displays must remain intact
until 5 pm. Failure to abide by this policy will result in future ineligibility for the Market.

in forfeiture of all fees paid up to the date of cancellation. The Artisan Market is a rain or shine event.

Booth Oversight
Artists must oversee their exhibit at all times and must display their work for the duration of the
show. There is no early dismantling of displays or early departures permitted. Booth displays must
remain intact until the show ends at 5pm.
Each exhibitor will be given 2 extra passes to the event, to enable him/her to provide for booth
assistance. If artists wish to have additional family/friends with them, they will need to purchase
event tickets.
Each exhibitor is responsible for supplying, setting up and taking down their own display. Each
exhibitor is responsible for the security of his/her booth.
All booths and set up must be dismantled after the Market. The vendor space must be left clean.

Thank you! We look forward to a wonderful event!
