Display Space
Exhibitors are responsible for providing their own tents and displays, which should be sufficiently sturdy to withstand weather and crowds. The average space allotment is 10’ x 10’, but this varies since it is an outdoor show where natural and man-made obstructions can limit or increase its size. Tents should not be bigger than 10’ x 10’, nor should display height exceed 9’ to clear overhead tree branches. The show is held in a residential neighborhood; booth spaces are located mostly on concrete or grassy, tree-laden areas, with some straddling curbs, curb cuts, walkways or driveways; there are few spaces with perfectly flat ground. 3rd Street is lined with trees, which block direct sunlight; booths along Magnolia have the least exposure to the sun. All booths on 3rd Street face west; booths on Magnolia face north. Exhibitors must abide by all local fire regulations.
Returning exhibitors will be given preferred booth space whenever possible and every effort will be made to accommodate the special needs of the physically handicapped. New exhibitors will be placed in the remaining booths after returning exhibitors have been assigned. Special requests will be considered, but the Art Show has the right to deny a request or change an exhibitor space if it is deemed necessary. The exhibitor’s full cooperation is expected in this matter.
Due to our situation in a residential neighborhood, the ground may not be perfectly flat in some areas. 3rd Street is lined with trees, which can block direct sunlight.
Electricity is not available! Generators are not permitted; however, battery-powered lighting is acceptable.
Setup
Booth setup is required the day before the show starts. Registration and setup is on Thursday, the day before the show starts between the hours of 9 .m. and 8 p.m. You must register prior to setting up your booth. Loading and unloading is permitted in close proximity to booth locations. Vehicles may not enter Magnolia once the show begins at 10 a.m. Friday morning.
All storage must be neatly concealed within or around your booth.
Parking
Each artist with a booth location on 3rd Street will be assigned the street area behind his or her booth for parking which generally allows for a full size van or smaller. Extended vans, u-hauls, and most trailers will not fit. It is necessary for these vehicles to park elsewhere as they may not block traffic or infringe on your neighbor’s space. Artists located on Magnolia Street and other very large vehicles cannot be allowed to travel Magnolia Street during peek set-up hours. They must wait until later in the evening when there is less congestion.
Cancellations/Refunds
Cancellations must be submitted in writing. Cancellations submitted in writing before September 1 will be refunded in full. No refunds of any kind will be made after September 1, including exhibitors who are “no-shows”. The booth fee is for rental of exhibit space by the applicant ONLY and is not transferable to another artist. If the registered artist cannot participate, control of booth space reverts back to the Art Show and refunds are made per the above stated policy. Refunds are not made if inclement weather is experienced during the course of the show.
Security
Security is provided for displays only during the hours the show is not in operation. 3rd Street is in an urban residential area, so reasonable precautions should be taken to ensure the safety of you and your property. All work exhibited is at the artists’ own risk. It is recommended that each exhibitor obtain general liability insurance, as the show’s insurance does NOT extend coverage for exhibit damage or bodily injury.
