Photograph(s) representative of completed work(s)

All items displayed for sale must be original work. Work must be done by exhibitor only and not by employees or staff. This means no mass production crafts; cottage industry, kits or handcrafted imports are accepted. All clothing must be individually submitted for approval, including items embellished, altered or decorated.

If the TAM determines that you are not in compliance, you will be first warned and then asked to leave if you do not make corrections. Your entry fee will not be refunded.



· The Artists MarketPlace will have the sole decision on acceptability of work(s) and compliance. Acceptance into one show does not guarantee acceptance into future shows. Acceptance is based on several factors, which include, but are not limited to originality and quality of work(s) and balance of media in each show. The decisions of the TAM and staff are final.



· The Artists MarketPlace reserves the right to limit the number of exhibitors in any media to maintain a quality selection for the festival.
