Applications will be screened according to originality, technique, craftsmanship, design and booth display. Additionally, we review submissions to assure a diverse selection of work. Notification of acceptance will be immediately after the jury meets. We suggest you apply early as many categories get filled quickly. 

We will try to honor requests for location of booth space but they cannot be guaranteed.  Once selected by the jury committee, an email will be sent and an invoice generated for the remainder of your booth fees. You will have 30 days to pay your balance. If your balance is not paid within 30 days, your booth will be forfeited and offered to an artist on our wait list.
