Show Fees
Show fees range from $60-$95 (spring shows) to $70-$110 (fall shows). The following are also available for a small fee: wall spaces, tables, and electricity. All prices are subject to change. Guild show applications are accepted from its Members on a "first come, first served" basis.
“Spring Festival of Crafts” (March) and “Bewitched Harvest Art & Craft Show” (October) have spaces that are 10 feet wide by approximately 8 feet deep. “Winter Festival of Crafts” (December) has spaces that are 8 feet wide by approximately 6 feet deep. Spring Crafters’ Showcase (April) and Crafts for Christmas (late November) have spaces that are 10 feet wide by 10 feet deep.
Members must supply their own table covers. Table covers must be 100% polyester or other flame-retardant material. The color may be navy (preferred color), black, brown, burgundy/wine, grey, or hunter green. The Executive Board may approve other dark, solid, neutral colors at the request of a Member prior to the color being used at a show. The table cover must cover all sides of the table and must reach the floor. Stretchy table covers are not permitted as they do not go to the floor on all sides of the table and tend to be see-through. All demonstration/packing tables with open space under the table top must also be covered (i.e., no "naked" table legs unless table legs are decorative in nature (ex. wooden claw foot tables)). Additional tabletop covers/cloths (lace, draping) may not hang more than twelve (12) inches over the edge of the covered tables.
