Artists can choose to either showcase, vend, or host a ticketed performance of workshop
Display artwork at the event either with or without the artist present. This may also include no-charge live work demonstrations from your artist booth. No sales transactions take place.
Attending the event is a great way to talk to event guests, hand out business cards and other information, and share more about the piece and the artistic process. Attending the event alongside the art piece also allows the artist to supervise the art piece directly for its protection.
If an artist chooses not to attend the event alongside their piece, the art piece will be placed in the most suitable location available. Artwork may be displayed for the duration of the weekend and will be available for pick up at the NexSource Center on Tuesday, September 13.
Showcase opportunities are available on Friday, September 9 from 4-9:30pm. For artists attending the event, set up runs from 1-3:30pm on September 9.
Artists are welcome to vend alongside their art display at their artist booth during CulinART! A $50 fee applies to vendors. Vending without pre-approval is strictly prohibited and may result in removal from the event.
