Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
Upon acceptance, the $300 artist space fee must be received by the posted deadline or the artist may be removed from the participating list and placed on a waiting list. Booth spaces are assigned in order that full booth payment is received. Priority in booth placement is given to returning artists who apply and submit booth payment by October 23, 2026.
All applications will be juried, invited, and confirmed on a rolling basis until the fine art show reaches sold out status. Returning artists are advised to accept and pay by October 23, 2026; after that date they enter the jury pool with new artists. If an artist does not submit payment by deadline, Art in the Village will reach out to alternate artists on the waiting list.
