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 12’ x 12’, 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. St. James Court is lined with trees, which block direct sunlight; booths along Magnolia and on the southernmost part of the Court next to Hill Street have the greatest exposure to the sun, and consequently, the best natural light. All booths on St. James court face east or west; booths on Magnolia face north or south. 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.  St. James Court 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.  St. James Court operates a staggered Check In and Setup Time based on your booth number. Your Check In time will be sent to you prior to the show. Loading and unloading is permitted in close proximity to booth locations, but vehicles cannot remain in the exhibit area after their timeslot for unloading is over and during the show.  Artists are allowed to bring vehicles in prior to 9:00 am each morning and then after the show closes each evening.

 

All storage must be neatly concealed within or around your booth.

 

PARKING

Free parking is provided to exhibitors on a first-come-first-serve basis relatively near the exhibit site.

 

CANCELLATIONS/REFUNDS

Cancellations must be submitted in writing.  Artists canceling before August 7, 2007 will be refunded all but $75 of your booth fee. After August 7, 2007 there will be no booth refunds. 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. St. James Court 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.
