Juried Show Standards

Craft Producers seeks original, well-designed, and expertly fabricated work. To maintain the integrity of our juried fairs, we require that artists be intimately involved in the display and sale of their work. While a knowledgeable, bona fide employee is acceptable, we do not permit independent sales representatives. Our juried festivals are dedicated to individual artists who design and create their own work. We strictly prohibit imports, kits, and “buy/sell” items. If buy/sell merchandise is discovered at a juried event, the exhibitor will be removed immediately. Please complete your application carefully, listing all items you intend to sell. To ensure a balanced show, certain categories—such as maple syrup and CBD products—are limited to one or two exhibitors. These items may only be sold by those who list them as their primary offering. If you are a juried artist in one category (e.g., 2D art) but wish to sell a secondary line (e.g., jewelry), you must disclose this on your application for approval. Generally, juried artists focus on a single medium. While we occasionally allow domestic partners (e.g., spouses) to share a booth with two different products, this does not extend to friends or business partners seeking to split booth costs. When in doubt, please reach out to us for clarification. To guarantee the authenticity of work at our juried events, we require photos of your working studio. These do not need to be professional quality; they serve to inspire patron interest via social media and verify your process. We do allow exceptions for artists who conceptualize and design products manufactured elsewhere (such as t-shirts or specialty foods), as we aim to support the growth and success of our creators. We value professional and creative booth presentations. While we do not mandate white tents and do allow handwritten signs, all signage must be “classy,” legible, and professional in appearance. We prefer to keep our guidelines flexible, and we rely on our exhibitors to maintain high standards. If you have concerns regarding a fellow exhibitor’s professionalism, please let us know confidentially during the show so we can address it. We deeply appreciate the talent and professionalism you bring to our events and look forward to a continued conversation.
