Participate in the Consignment Program

You can still participate in the consignment program! The requirements are as follows:

- Must have been an artist who has previously exhibited at one of our biennial fairs
- Participants must have been exhibitors themselves. If someone's work was represented by a gallery or another organization who signed up for a table, we are unable to take it at this time.

Please contact us for more information about how to participate in this exciting new program!
