 SALES 

Items for sale must be priced. Exhibits must be maintained from 9 am until 5 pm both days. You must supply your own change. Each artist is responsible for collecting Florida state sales taxes (7% in Pinellas County).

 SETUP 

To allow ample set-up time, gates open at 7:00 am on both days. (Keep in mind it may be dark while you are setting up, please have flashlights to help you.)

Exhibits must be in place by 9:00 am. You may set up between 4:00 and 6:00 pm on Friday; however, although the park is safe, there is no special security on duty (see release form). Please, because of underground sprinklers, do not drive on the grass in this area.

Your vehicle must be moved from the exhibit area by 8:45 am.

 PARKING 

You must move your vehicle to the overflow parking area (Gate #4) after completing assembly of exhibits. This is to ensure ample parking for your customers.

 EXHIBIT SPACE 

Spaces are located within the picnic area of the park. Due to the natural contours of the area, spaces vary in size but are approximately 10' x 10'. Tables or chairs will not be provided.

You can view a map of the Art Arbor Festival layout Here ( 42K PDF).


Note: the exhibit area has many trees with low-hanging branches. If your display includes a canopy, be sure to indicate on the application so that you can be placed appropriately.

 SPECIAL NEEDS 

Every effort will be made to accommodate people with disabilities. Please include any information or concerns regarding the need for special assistance with your application.
