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If for some reason, the email used for EntryThingy is no longer valid, or is not the best contact email for the artist, it is the artist's responsibility to contact us at [email protected] to update us with a valid email address.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.
