We welcome only exhibitors who offer handmade items.

Recordings of music produced on the artist’s hand-crafted instruments may be sold along with the instrument but not alone.

All items must be the hand crafted work of the crafts person of record at the festival.

No mass-produced or foreign-made products or work from kits, pre-fabricated forms or other commercial methods are permitted.

Artists must personally attend their booth and be present for the entire event. Booths must remain set up for the entire duration of the event – rain or shine.

Artists must supply their own display equipment. No electrical power is available and the use of portable generators is prohibited without prior written consent of the DCA.

LIABILITY

Exhibitors set up a booth at their own risk. DCA may NOT be held liable for loss or damage to work or property or for personal injury, nor shall the artists or any of their representatives be a party to any legal action against DCA or its sponsors.
