The Winter Arts Faire is an opportunity to showcase artists in our community. We will not be accepting community organizations, non-artists, or vendors selling work created by someone other than themselves. All work must be newly created, by hand. KAAHC reserves the right to curate acceptance into the Winter Arts Faire.
Artists are expected to build a creative and festive booth experience for Winter Arts Faire attendees, including the design of your booth. In other words, artists should not lay their work on a flat surface and consider their booth design "finished". KAAHC will not provide tables or tablecloths.
Should you have to back out of Winter Arts Faire - KAAHC will refund your booth application fee up until October 31st. After October 31st, no booth refunds will be given.
