Vendors: Please take the time to look over this information before registering for the June 15th All Arts Market!
Eligibility:
This market is not a juried show and there is no application fee or selection process. However, we do require THE ARTIST MUST BE PRESENT to sell their work. In order to fulfil our mission to promote original art in NoDa, we can allow NO RE-SALE. If it comes to our attention that this rule is in violation, we will ask you to leave the market and not refund your registration fee.
Registration occurs on-line roughly one month before each event. You may sign-up for our newsletter (the link is at the lower right-hand corner of this website) to find out the day and time that registration will open.
Registration Fees:
Booth prices are $45 and $30 (and $100 for the entire main stage). Price is based on location. ONLY ONE BOOTH PER ARTIST in order to allow as many artists into the market as possible. Booths are typically 8×4 feet, and artists are asked to keep to this area. You are required to bring your own table and/or set-up. Chairs are available for all vendors.
6-foot folding tables may be rented in advance for an additional $20 and will be set up at your booth when you arrive.
Refunds/Cancellations:
If you are unable to attend, please let us know as soon as possible. We want to fill every space and will refund your registration fees promptly.
A CANCELLATION FEE OF $10 will be charged for all cancellations, no exceptions, to cover our expenses. We cannot offer refunds for any booth cancelled within 48-hours of the event. (Sorry, we are unable to transfer registrations from one event to another at a later date.)
Setup and Takedown:
You may begin set-up as early as 11:00 am (and please, no later than 12:30 pm) the day of the event. Booths should be completely set-up by 1:00 pm, as shoppers arrive promptly! Please feel free to stay as late as people are still coming in to buy.
Unloading:
We will have cones and a traffic director by the main entrance of the Theatre to help you load and unload your things, but please keep your unloading time to under 5 minutes.
Parking:
Unfortunately, we are unable to waive parking fees for the lot next to Neighborhood Theatre. Please expect to pay the parking attendant $3 for each night. If you have parked before 3:00 pm, the parking attendant will boot your car unless you clear it with him when he arrives! We will make an announcement from the stage so everyone inside the Theatre knows when he gets there. You may also find free parking along surrounding streets like 35th, 36th, Yadkin, or Alexander.
Electricity and Lighting:
The Theatre is not as bright as most galleries or trade show venues. If you are concerned, please bring string lights or a plug-in lamp for your display. If you do bring anything electrical, please also bring an extension cord and/or a multi-plug outlet, as outlets are limited and located sporadically.
Processing Sales:
If you have the capability, wi-fi is available for credit card processing. There is also an ATM inside Neighborhood Theatre. Please plan to process all your own sales.
