Additional information

• Do you have a co-artist applying with you? If so, what is his/her name and email address.
• Please provide a brief Artisan's statement.
• Demonstrating is an important aspect of our event. Please describe how you plan to demonstrate your art or craft during the event. Note this is specific to the Fair and not to be a substitute for your artisan statement.
• Education is a large part of the Waterford Foundation's mission, as such we ask Fair artisans to provide a small educational activity for children that relates to your work. Keep it simple so with a few quick instructions you can then turn to the parents/customers and talk. Please contact the office if you need ideas or examples of activities. Please describe your activity here. If you do not plan to participate please state so. This is not a requirement, but we do hope you will participate.
• I have read the Demo Artisan Application Details and by applying agree to abide to the rules laid out within.
• I acknowledge that I will provide liability coverage by September 1.
• Homestay/Lodging: local families generously welcome artisans into their homes during the Fair on a first come, first serve basis for free. COVID-19 may dictate we cannot offer homestays. Please let us know if you would be interested in a homestay opportunity and the number of beds you would require should you be accepted into the Fair (ex. 1 bed for 2 adults, or 2 twins for 2 adults) If not, please answer "no".
• Please provide your top 3 preferences for booth/space by listing the item number. For example: if your first choice is "Outside 100 sq. ft. then you would list #7 as your choice. List choices as follows: 7, 8, 1.
• Applicant agrees with the following statement: Placement is only secured when the balance is paid in full. Accounts will be adjusted after site selection and the artisan will be notified if there are any changes. Booth/space fee payments may be paid by credit card or by sending a check or money order to our office. All booth fees must be paid by August 20 to participate in the event.
• I/we would prefer to be in the old-time Village Market and have a historically accurate market tent.
• Please list your tent size (length x width x height) and any special details, such as, outside guide ropes extent beyond footprint of the tent. Please also note if you use stakes, weights, or both. We have some areas that stakes will not work easily. If you are applying for indoor space, please state no tent in answer to this question.
• The Foundation has a limited supply of tables for rent for $15 each. If selected, would you need to rent tables, yes or no? If so, how many?
• For outdoor spaces only, if selected will you need to rent electricity (fee $25; bring your own cord) -- yes or no? Please list any equipment that will be running on power except for lighting. Note: no power tools are to be used for your demonstration.
• If you are selected and need help finishing off your "look" - aprons are available to rent on a first come, first serve basis for $25 each. If you need one or more, please let us know how many.
• List how you would like your name(s) to appear on your badge(s) if selected. Each artisan will receive up to two (2) name badges for him/her and one (1) helper or co-artisan.
