Artist Application

Welcome to the event! This is the first event put on by the Black Flag Trading Company for Black Flag events with sponsorship by La Forge out of Lancaster! 

With this being our first event, Pop-ups are allowed along with period-appropriate tents. If a tent is needed, please list that under special requests, and we will let you know about local tent rental areas. 

All items and applications need to be in the theme of being handmade. No art resellers, mass-made 3D printed items, or open-source 3D printed items will be allowed. 

Please take a look through our applications and let us know if you have any questions. This is an electronic agreement, and by selecting the booths, you are validating and approving this agreement electronically.

Categories:

Clay: Original clay and porcelain work, functional or sculptural.

Fiber: Includes wearable and non-wearable clothing and costuming. 

Glass: Functional and sculptural work is accepted. Kiln forming, blowing, molding, or casting, as well as all cold working processes, are permitted. 

Jewelry: Only those artists accepted in the jewelry category may display or sell jewelry. Items made from commercial parts may not be exhibited.

Two-Dimensional: Drawing, painting, and digital works.

Reproduction prints are not allowed.

Wood: Original works that are hand-tooled, machine-worked, turned, or carved.

All items just need to be listed on the application, along with pictures of the product submitted, so they may be juried in, so that we can limit the overlap of products. Only items approed for selling may be in the booth. 

Terms and Conditions:

Load-in and load-out instructions will be provided upon approval of your application and payment for booth space. 

Smoking Policy: Absolutely no cigarette smoking, cigars, or Vape usage in the vendor or food area. Oftentimes times there are products and items that are adversely affected by said items. If you need to get your nicotine fix, please use the designated smoking area. Pipe tobacco is acceptable in your own booth as long as it isn't bothering your neighbors or patrons. 

Alcohol Policy: Per our agreement with the city, there is to be no consumption of alcoholic beverages on site. 

If you are caught doing either of these, you will receive one warning and then be asked to pack up and leave. Under certain circumstances, you may not receive a warning, and security will escort you out. You may return at the end of the day to retrieve your booth. Those circumstances include the beligerant or inappropriate misconduct of any kind towards other vendors, volunteer staff, or patrons.

Gunpowder/explosives: I know this is a Pirate Festival, but per the township, we are not allowed to use gunpowder, fire, or explosive items at all. 

There are no personal or vendor-only Bathrooms/portas available. Please use the ones set up; you are not allowed to bring your own. 

It is recommended that every booth have a mini med kit and a small fire extinguisher on hand. 

Security will be on site around the clock starting Friday night and until the end of the day Sunday. 

A secure parking lot will be available for you to store your trailers during the weekend.
