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.

Food booths will be open November 30th and December 1st only. Set up times for food booths is abbreviated due to the Gala opening the evening prior. Food booths may set up Saturday morning 8am to 10am. HOWEVER, food vendors may prep your food booth Friday, November 29 from noon to 3pm. You may store food and some items in the kitchen and service hallway. This will be a shared space so you may not, under any circumstances, block usage of the kitchen appliances or completely fill up the refrigerator or freezer. If you have questions please call and we can strategize to make your participation easier.

Food permits are the responsibility of the booth holder and may be obtained from the Department of Environmental Conservation, 540 Water Street, Ketchikan, AK 99901. Telephone: 225-6200. The DEC has the authority to close down food booths that do not meet their requirements.

Artists are encouraged and invited to hold a Workshop during the Winter Arts Faire. The Workshop will be a scheduled event that attendees can sign up for in advance. They should be between 30 min and 2 hours long. You may demonstrate a specific technique or teach a small class! These questions are not required and answering yes or no does not affect the outcome of the process for obtaining a booth.

Please note, culinary instructors must clean the teaching space they use. If the area is not cleaned at the end of your class, you will be fined $50.

There are no options for deep fat fryers.

I will bring everything I need for my Booth.

I will stay open for the ENTIRE duration of the Winter Arts Faire, and I am committed to both days!!!
I realize that closing my booth early or leaving early jeopardizes the whole event.
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

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. That means throwing away your trash, cleaning the area you used, and cleaning any utensils or equipment you borrow from the Ted Ferry Civic Center.

It is not permissible to begin the breakdown process before the Winter Arts Faire ends at 3:30 pm on Sunday. 

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

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.
