Terms & Conditions

Summerfest 2022 takes place over three days from Thursday, June 16 through Saturday, June 18, 2022. Summerfest event hours are 11am to 10pm on Thursday and Friday and 10am to 9pm Saturday. PLEASE NOTE that artists' required hours are 11am to 9pm Thursday and Friday and 10am to 8pm Saturday (in other words, artists may close their tents one hour earlier than the festival closing time), but artists are welcome to stay open until closing time. There will be music and food available until closing each night. All items are required to be original works made by the artist who is applying, and who will also be present for the event. NO resale manufactured goods or imports are allowed at Summerfest. All items must be original, designed and produced by, or under the direct supervision of the artist. The artist must be present throughout the festival. No representatives, though assistants/helpers are allowed. Please do not apply if you are a reseller of manufactured, mass produced goods (no buy/sell), or re-packaged commercially manufactured goods. Artists selling reproductions of their own work must still have more than half of their inventory in original works. ACCEPTED MEDIA Please look through all the media and choose where your artwork fits best. It is very important that your artwork be placed in the correct category to ensure that the jury process is fair. Please contact the Summerfest staff if you have a question. 2-D & 3D Mixed Media Ceramics/Pottery Artisan-made Culinary/Personal-care Goods: handcrafted spices, vinegars, soaps, lotions, et. Digital Art Drawing/Pastels Fiber (not wearable) Glass Graphics/Printmaking Jewelry Metalwork Onsite Art/Personalized Creations: calligraphy, face painting, body art, airbrushed T-shirts, etc. Painting: oil, acrylic, watercolor, etc. Photography Sculpture Toys and Games Wearable art: leather, hats, purses, handmade clothing, etc. Wood Jury The jury is comprised of an independent group of artists, educators, and art collectors, selected for their diverse knowledge of the arts. They are not Summerfest staff or employees and are compensated for their service. IMAGES Please submit four (4) images of your artwork with your application. These should honestly represent the type and quality of works you intent to display/sell. Artists must include a fifth image representative of their booth display. This is not a photo or diagram or the canopy/tent itself. It is a photo of the merchandise display, approximating what the display will look like at the event. If this is your first event and you don't have a booth shot, please set up a display on your kitchen table or some other location and submit it, along with an explanation of how you will make your booth attractive and professional looking. The booth appearance picture can make the difference between being accepted or not accepted. Remember: the quality of the images submitted does count! Please submit images that show your work clearly and to its best advantage. Crowded images that try to fit in everything you do are not helpful. It is better to focus well on one item against an uncluttered background. Also, please make sure all photos are in focus. BOOTH REQUIREMENTS Booths are required to be white canopied. Exhibitors may request booth placement, which will be submitted for approval on a first-come, first served basis and is NOT guaranteed.
