Artists may not sell the artwork of others in the capacity of a broker or reseller. All art sold by the artist must be their own. The artist must be personally present for the duration of the show unless a special exception is made. To request a special exception, please contact the show director at [email protected].

No artwork depicting political messaging of any kind, from any party will be permitted. While patriotism is allowable, the Vice President of Standards will have the discretion to determine whether or not any work crosses the line between politics and patriotism and may remove any work deemed inappropriate. Topics that are not necessarily inherently political but are currently politicized will be evaluated by the Jury Committee on a case-by-case basis.

Artists may not refuse service or use hate speech or derogatory language on any member of a protected group. Artwork may not include hate speech or derogatory language or messaging towards any person or group based on one or more protected groups. Artwork may not glorify hate groups and their members.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Chester County Craft Guild at [email protected]

IMPORTANT NOTE BOOTH PHOTOS:

We are asking that ALL artists submit a booth photo. If any artist who does not upload a booth photo, the jury will deduct points from your score, or have their application rejected at the discretion of the Jury Committee.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT COMMUNICATIONS:

We assume that the email address that participants use for their EntryThingy application is a valid email address that is regularly checked and monitored by the artists.

After the acceptance is sent out through EntryThingy's system, we will send out several communications to all participating artists. In addition, we send out booth invoices electronically through our SQUARE PAY account using the email addresses from the EntryThingy applications. Payment must be made within 10 days from receipt of payment notice.

If for some reason, the email used for EntryThingy is no longer valid, or is not the best contact email for the artist, it is the artist's responsibility to contact us at [email protected] to update us with a valid email address. If we are unable to get a response from an artist, or if booth fees are not paid in a timely fashion, we will assume that that artist is no longer interested in participating in our show and we may award their space to another artist.
