Winter Arts Faire

This year's Winter Arts Faire will be at the Ted Ferry Civic Center! To participate in the Faire booth holders must be Artist members or above of the Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council.

8x6 booths are $75. PLEASE NOTE: all of the 8x6 booth in Ted Ferry have been placed. If you would like to get on the waiting list for an 8 x 6 please note that in the space provided. 

6x6 booths are $65

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 table cloths.

In addition to a booth - if you choose to, you are invited to teach a class in the art medium you work in. You may charge a fee for people to take you class, or you may teach your class for free. 

PLEASE NOTE, there is also an opportunity for food vendors. Food booths will be open November 30th and December 1st. Set up times for food booths is abbreviated - please click below to fill out the food booth application. Food booths are $65. (6x6)

I understand there are no tables or table cloths available.
I will bring everything I need for my Booth.
I will be set up and ready to sell on time all 3 days.
I will stay open for the ENTIRE duration of the Winter Arts Faire, and I am committed to ALL 3 days!!!
I realize that closing my booth early or leaving early jeopardizes the whole event.
If I sell out of my wares I will keep my booth open. I can network, offer business cards, sell gift certificates, or take orders.
If something outside of my control prevents me from attending any of the days, I realize it is my responsibility to either staff my booth and keep the Arts Council informed of the change, or I must contact KAAHC to arrange a drop out/sublet

Breakdown Information:

The breakdown is Sunday, December 1st, from 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm. It is each vendor's responsibility to clean their own space. Please leave your area as you found it. 

It is not permissible to begin the breakdown process before the Winter Arts Faire ends at 3:30 pm on Sunday. If you sell out of your wares, Congratulations!!! Your booth must remain open. Vendors in years past have used this time to network, share business cards, sell gift certificates, display photo albums, and take orders. We appreciate your cooperation and encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity and celebrate your success and network with attendees. 

I agree to the above statement
I will have fun and enjoy the spirit of the event!!!

Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council holds an annual raffle to fundraise for support of the organization's programs and events, like the Annual Winter Arts Faire, Artist Professional Development classes, and the Wearable Art Show!!! Each raffle ticket is accompanied by a handmade envelope containing a variety of things including tiny art pieces, jewelry, coupons, gift cards, poems, recipes, art supplies, and more. That way every raffle ticket is a winner!!!

I would like to donate a gift certificate or a small item to the Arts Council's Annual Raffle Envelopes.

If for any reason, present or future, by: statute, law, ordinance, regulation, order, judgment or decree, earthquake, flood, fire, pandemic, epidemic, disease, accident, explosion, causing any inability without fault on KAAHC's part to sufficiently hold the Winter Arts Faire, KAAHC may terminate registration without any liability for any damages arising from such termination. 

In addition to the above circumstances, should any event displace the organization or render the organization unable to host the Winter Arts Faire, KAAHC shall not be under any obligation to present it at a different time.
