We anticipate artists to have varied prices for their work.

Each application is considered a separate entity and is charged as such. No multiple-category booths are allowed. Exhibitors provide their tents, tables, and display units. Participants must exhibit the total number of days for which they have paid. Artists must comply with all New York State tax regulations and are responsible for collecting and paying 8% of NY State sales tax. Exhibitors must be registered with New York State and display a "Certificate of Authority" at all times during the Festival.
