IMPORTANT REMINDERS ABOUT ARTIST ALLEY SPACE
Artist Alley Spaces are NOT 10x10s. You are given one table, two chairs, two passes, and have some space (typically 2 ft behind you for signage, etc.)
We REQUIRE enough space behind Artist Alley exhibitors for other exhibitors to move easily in and out of the area as needed.
Table Splitting is NOT allowed. Each table should be for one creator and one assistant only.
No more than 2 people behind your table at any time. If you have a friend that wants to sit with you they can swap with your assistant, etc. But at no time should you overcrowd your space.
There are to be NO giant displays, large racks, shelving units, behind you.
At our last event we got a lot of complaints from other artists about folks going outside the limitations of what Artist Alley is supposed to be. So we are asking everyone to fully follow the guidelines at all times, be kind to your neighbors, and considerate of the show.
Thank You!
ARTIST ALLEY EXAMPLE
As an example, this model shows you how the Artist Alley area will look.
All Artist Alley tables are flush (side by side) with no gaps inbetween).
Exhibitors will not be allowed behind your table to shop. The basic rule is, if it fits on your table it’s good to go.
A banner or some small display piece is allowed behind your table but there must be enough walking space (shown in blue) for other exhibitors to get in and out. Venue staff will be by to make sure everyone is complying with these rules.
VENDOR SPACE IMPORTANT REMINDERS
Exhibitor Spaces are 10×10 and can not be “nudged out” for additional space.
Meaning, plan accordingly to give yourself room to walk in and out. Don’t box yourself in with tables. If you encroach into another exhibitors space or into the walkways you will be removed from the event without refund.
You can build UP with your displays to 15ft. But they MUST be secured. If anything falls on yourself or anyone attending the event, any injury or damage will be your responsibility.
