Acceptance Criteria
· Your application package will be assessed for the quality, uniqueness, and salability of your product; your display presentation; and how your work will fit in the show taking other participants into consideration
· You must be the designer and creator of your art or craft (with few exceptions)
· You must be a local artisan and your art or craft must be made in Canada
· participation requires that your display is open for the full 4 day event during the hours advertised
Vendors will be assigned a location taking display requirements and the overall show design into consideration. With few exceptions, changing locations is not an option but if necessary must be done with the approval of the show Coordinator.
Vendors will be assigned their location at set-up night (the night before opening day) from 5:00 – 7:00 pm.
Main display items can be left in place over night during the show. There will be some storage provided for product, or you can take it with you (it can’t be left at your display area for security reasons).
Vendors are responsible for providing their own lights, display materials, and any individual signage. Exhibitors are expected to provide a safe environment – you may be asked to remove or alter something if it is deemed unsafe by the show Coordinator. The Artisans Marketplace will not provide tables. Exhibitors are encouraged to think outside the box with their displays and utilize vertical space and unique display items.
A cheque made payable to 401 Richmond Ltd will be required no later than two weeks after you are informed of acceptance and secures your spot in the show. You are not officially a participant until payment is received.
Vendors are asked to make a product or gift certificate donation for baskets that are raffled at the end of the show. The raffle provides us with attendee contact information to add to our promotions list.
