Independent Artist Information

We have currently reached capacity for independent artists (table and wall space). Additional space may become available, and you can choose to join the waitlist during registration should space become available.

​

An independent artist is someone who creates and sells their art without regular support or involvement from an agency or organization.​

​

Please remember: All artwork must be registered during the registration process so we can prepare sale tags for each piece.

​

​​Fees

• Free — there are no registration or rental fees for independent artists.

Attendance options

• You will select your preference when you register. You can choose to participate on:

  • Both days, or

  • One day only

Space provided

• Each artist is assigned:

  • Half of a table (shared with another artist), and/or

  • Half of one side of a wall

• If you register for a table, you are required to be on-site at your table for the entire time you have registered for the show.

• If you are displaying 5 or fewer hanging pieces, you do not need to book wall space. Your work will be displayed in a shared hanging area.
