Travel Information: Local Hotels & Restaurants

These rules are intended to produce a show that provides each artist the opportunity to show his or her work to its best advantage, supports the purchase of original art and craft, and fosters art appreciation. Failure to comply with show rules may result in an exhibitor being asked to remove non-compliant items from sale or face dismissal from the show.

We still have some spaces available - apply now to reserve your place in the show!

AWARDS: All categories will be judged by qualified art or craft judges. Winners will receive cash awards and ribbons.

ELIGIBLE WORK FOR DISPLAY: All artwork that is framed and/or hung on the walls of the artist's tent must be original and one-of-a-kind, executed and signed by the artist. Exhibitors may not exhibit work purchased for resale from other artists or commercial suppliers. No buy/sell is allowed in any medium. We do not allow dealers, greenware, unset tumbled stones, sale of frames or the resale of craft kits or patterns.

Reproductions may not be framed or hung on the walls of the exhibitors tent. This includes reproductions printed on canvas with hand-made enhancements by the artist. All reproductions must be clearly labeled and sold as reproductions. They must be numbered and signed, wrapped and displayed in print racks or bins. No more than 25% of an exhibitor's display may be devoted to reproductions. Sale of note cards is allowed provided that they constitute no more than 10% of an exhibitor's display.

Photographers may not hang the same framed image in a variety of sizes nor may they hang multiples of the same framed image. All photographic prints must be handmade by the artist in the darkroom or via digital/graphics. Please refer to Art Media Definitions.

The Show Committee reserves the right to request removal of any items that do not comply, and further retains the right to dismiss from the show any exhibitor who fails to comply with these or other stated policies.

EXHIBITOR SPACE ASSIGNMENTS: Each exhibitor booth is 12’ x 15’ on grass. All booths are corner spaces (two sides open onto an aisle). Exhibitors must provide their own display booths and racks. Exhibitors may apply for a limited supply of double booth spaces. Exhibitors may not relocate or move their assigned space without the permission of the Show Committee.

Exhibitors are solely responsible for their art and display. Glastonbury Art Guild assumes no responsiblity for loss or damage to any art work, display or personal injury. Exhibitors are advised to remove art from booths overnight. Displays must be sturdy enough to withstand crowds, wind and weather conditions - the show goes on, rain or shine. Electricity is not available at the show site. Please be a good neighbor and keep your space clean and tidy. Do not bring pets to the show.
