Fallasburg Arts Festival

STANDARDS FOR FINE ART & FINE CRAFTS
LowellArts is committed to displaying only high-caliber, original artwork at the Fallasburg Arts Festival. All artwork on display must be consistent with the images submitted, and be of original concept, design, and execution of the exhibiting artist. Artists must be 18 years of age or older.
Non-eligible artwork includes: commercially mass produced items, buy/sell merchandise, items made by embellishing commercially-made items (clothing, stencils, patterns, molds).
Examples of non-acceptable artwork includes: candles, food items, Henna, printed books, jewelry that uses purchased beads not crafted by the artist (exception to this is bead-weaving), commercially purchased t-shirts that are dyed or screen printed.
Original art in the following categories will be juried including: Basketry, Ceramics, Digital Art, Fiber (Wearable & Non-wearable), Floral, Glass, Jewelry, Leather, Metal, Mixed Media 2-D, Mixed Media 3-D, Painting/Drawing, Photography, Printmaking, Sculpture, Soap and Skin Care, and Wood.
Additional Notes on Specific Art Media:
Traditional print media, photography, and digital art should be from a limited edition. Digital artwork and photographs must use artist’s own images.
Artists in the Painting/Drawing category may sell reproductions of their own artwork, such as giclee prints, this product type should represent 20% or less of the total items for sale and must be labeled with the word “reproduction.”
Upcycled clothing is allowed but it should be significantly altered and have no manufactured seams.
The use of scarf blanks is allowed but this product type should represent 20% or less of the total items for sale in an artist’s booth and the artist must have applied in the Wearable Fibers category.
Artists selling jewelry must apply in the jewelry category. Artists in non-jewelry categories may sell a small amount of jewelry items only if the amount of this product represents 10% or less than the total items for sale in an artist’s booth and the jewelry must be made with materials in the category in which they applied.

RULES & REGULATIONS
Only one artist (or artist collaboration) is allowed per booth. An artist collaboration is defined as two or more artists working together to create the same body of work – only the collaborative work submitted in the application may be displayed. A description of each of the collaborators involvement in the creation of the artwork should be noted in the artist statement.
Artists must be present in their booth for both days of the festival. Fallasburg Arts Festival is a “rain or shine” event. Exhibitors should be prepared for inclement weather. Each artist is responsible for collection and payment of 6% Michigan Sales Tax.
Artist images should be representative of the work to be sold at the show. We reserve the right to request removal of artwork from the show that is inconsistent with submitted art and implied quality of workmanship.
Artists may be juried on to a waitlist. Artists need to confirm that they would like to remain on the waitlist, and they will be contacted if a spot becomes available in their category. Artists will be notified of a space opening via email. Once contacted, the artist may accept or decline the invitation. Their spot will be reserved once the booth payment is received. The week prior to the festival, artists in any category may be contacted from the waitlist.
The rules and regulations are in place to ensure a quality event that is fair for all artists involved. Rules and regulations are strictly enforced, and artists that are not in compliance will be asked to leave the festival, without a refund.
