Welcome Artists
to the 2021 Edom Art Festival

I am Beth Brown, your festival director and owner of Potters Brown, whose late husband Doug Brown was founding father.  We have had the pottery in Edom since 1971, also the beginning of the Edom Art Festival.  This year I am returning as chair, with the help of the selfless dedication of our craft community members.
As artists, we have also spent a lifetime attending shows, so we put the needs of our artists front and center.  We know what Zapp is like and we are trying to stay away from it, so we need your help to pass the word to your fellow artists about our great little gem of a show, and encourage them to apply.  We believe in the power of word of mouth, and we look forward to a great year, and seeing all of your smiling faces.

Festival Standards

The type of work acceptable and eligible is Fine Art and Fine Craft, and we attempt to accept work in all price ranges. All work exhibited must be original art produced by the artist. One of a kind, multiples, series or limited editions (which must be signed and numbered), will be considered. Work exhibited must be consistent with submitted images. EAF reserves the right to request removal of any items which, in its sole judgement, do not conform to show guidelines. If entire inventory does not comply the artist will be asked to leave with no refund.

Artist Booth Info

Size:

Each artist will have a 10X10 space, double booth is 10X20. Tents (white only please), tables and chairs and all display items provided by the artist. This is an outdoor show on grass, and dog ties are acceptable. You are responsible to secure your booth against rain and wind. NO ELECTRICITY, no exceptions, is provided at the show. There is room to unload and load your vehicle close to your booth, but be respectful of others, by unloading and moving your vehicle, packing and then bringing in your vehicle in the tight areas. We do pay attention to those who do not play well with others.

 

Booth Sharing:

If two or more artists are collaborative in producing a single product, they must apply as a team and occupy one space. If two artists produce different work, each artist must apply with separate jury fees but may split the booth fee, limit to 2 artists sharing.

 

Security:

Overnight security is provided on Friday and Saturday nights, but EAF will not assume liability for damage, loss or theft of artist’s work.

 

Sales:

All sales will be conducted by individual artists. Artists retain all revenue from sale of their work. You are required to collect and pay 7.25% sales tax on all items sold. The Texas Comptroller does check.

 

WiFi/Cellular Service:

There is limited cellular reception in the area, making internet transactions a bit difficult. Please be aware of this. We are trying to remedy the situation prior to the festival, but please be prepared accordingly. There is a local ATM for customers to get cash if necessary.

Artist Hospitality

We are pleased to offer snacks and beverages, coffee and roll, throughout the weekend and booth sitters will be available. There is also an abundance of food booths at the festival. An Artists Appreciation Dinner is held on Saturday evening after the show at a lovely venue close by, as we appreciated you so much.

 

LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT YEAR!!!
