Desolation Road Studios welcomes fine artists and craftspeople to our Spring Outdoor Arts & Crafts Show. We have a large show planned and expect to have 20 fine artists and craftspeople displaying their works for sale in Orsini Park.  Live entertainment is planned with the Lost Radio Rounders.  A Sidewalk Chalk Art Competition will also be happening on the sidewalks on the north side of Maple Ave between the parks from 9am-3pm.  Chalk and the entry fee can be paid at the show.  Just look for the table on the corner of Park and Main to sign up!  Space is limited for this show so please apply early!

General Information/Regulations:

All work exhibited or offered for sale must be the original design and product of the exhibitor and will be representative of the works submitted for acceptance.

Artists must man their booth for all hours of the show.  In the event of inclement weather, the show will proceed as scheduled on the rain date. It will be at the discretion of Desolation Road Studios as to when to call the rain date or close the show due to dangerous weather conditions. Vendors must remain set up for the entire duration of the show and not break down any displays until the show ends. Breaking down booths early is a disruption to the event, as well as to your neighboring vendors.

No pets owned by exhibitors will be allowed on show grounds at any time including set up and break down of booths/displays.

Artist must provide a suitable, attractive display, support, racks, stands, and covered tables for work which must fit in a 10×10 ft square space. All safety precautions must be taken in setting up the exhibits. Artists are responsible for keeping their display area neat and clean at all times. Boxes and packing materials must be hidden. There is no staking in the ground to hold tents in either park– please use weights.
