The 23rd Annual BBC Fine Arts & Fine Crafts Fair

Rules and Regulations
All work must be original and completely finished. No imports or manufactured items are allowed. No assembled jewelry, dried or silk flower arrangements; objects from commercially available kits, parts or patterns; pottery, glass or other materials from pre-manufactured molds; embellished commercial objects and clothing; factory-made items; no t-shirts with iron-on appliques, t-shirts are allowed if they are hand painted or silk-screened. You will be asked to leave by security if on the day of the fair any of these rules are not complied with.

Your images for jurying must represent what is going to be sold in your booth. Only the category of work in the submitted images is acceptable for display at the show. For example, if you are accepted for fiber, you may not include jewelry in your booth.

Please do not submit images of one-of-a-kind, high-end work when your booth is predominantly filled with less expensive production-style work. This especially applies to jewelers. Your images will be saved and compared with what you display.

The show will go on rain or shine.

Booth Requirements
Booths should create a boutique or gallery look to compliment the work. All exhibitors are responsible for keeping their area clear during show hours, including clean up at the end of the show. Absolutely no hanging of any item on trees, buildings, and fences surrounding the buildings. All garbage must be bagged and left in the designated areas at the end of the show.

All inventory and display materials must be contained within the space you have requested. You may not expand into the aisles or beyond the space for which you contracted. Please set up your booth accordingly.

All signage must be professional. No handwritten signs.

Your booth and work should be consistent with the images sent for jurying. If there is a significant variation, we reserve the right to ask you to leave the venue without a refund.

Cancellations
If you cancel your space by April 30th you will receive a full refund. If you cancel by May 7th you will get half your refund back. After May 7th there will be no refund. Cancellations must be done via email.

Security and Liability
Please keep in mind that we cannot be responsible for damage, theft or loss of exhibitor's work, personal property or display materials.

Special Requests
The application for individual shows has a space for 'special requests.' All special requests must be in writing.
