DISPLAY SPACE-THE 1300 SOUTH THIRD STREET ASSOCIATION:

The exhibit area includes the west side of the 1300 block of South Third Street and the north side of Magnolia Avenue between Third and Fourth Streets.  Booth #s 3N-701 through 3N-752 are on a grassy area and face west. Booth #s 3N-753 through 3N-781 are on pavement, straddle a curb, and face south.

You’ll find a printable map of the show site at: http://stjamescourtartshow.com/images/Maps/ShowSiteMap2007.pdf

 

The average booth space allotment is 12’wide by 10’ deep, but this varies, as it is an outdoor show where natural or man made obstructions can limit or increase a booth’s size.  There are no booth spaces that are perfectly level.

Artists must have a tent.  10’ x 10’ tents are the maximum size that can be accommodated, no exceptions. The height of your booth and display should not exceed 9’ due to low hanging tree branches. Exhibitors are responsible for providing their own tents and displays, which should be sufficiently sturdy to withstand weather and crowds.
