CALENDAR

March 30th, 2026: Application Deadline

June 6th, 2026: Rhinestone Fest Artist Market

SUBMISSION & DEADLINE

The Application is due March 30th, 2026 at 11:59pm. Notifications will be emailed to all applicants on Tuesday, April 7th. Priority is given based on creativity, desirability, quality, variety and aesthetic. We are specifically looking for Dolly Parton and Appalachian themed, hand made work. Once approved, vendors must confirm their participation by submitting payment for the specific market. An invitation does not guarantee a reserved spot. 

ACCEPTANCE POLICY
Participating Artists may only display work in the artwork categories in which they are accepted. The work must be comparable to that shown in the submitted images. Artists must be present on-site during open hours of the Market. Assistants are permitted; however, they may not take the place of the artist at the Market. Vendors may not ‘sublet’ their booth space to any non-collaborating artist.

OUTDOOR ELEMENTS
Spending a day selling artwork at our market sounds ideal, but when the weather isn’t cooperating with outdoor plans, it’s important to take the necessary precautions to stay as safe and comfortable as possible. Safety is our number one priority. Artists are to use their own judgment regarding inclement weather and personal safety. There is no refund of fees for bad weather. Rhinestone Fest goes on rain or shine.
