Exhibitors & Display
INFORMATION AND GUIDELINES
NOTE: applications as a vendor for Arts & Crafts are closed as of Sunday, Sept. 25
CATEGORIES: We are accepting three categories:
- Artists/crafters selling handmade products/artifact collectors/book authors; $40 per booth*; There will be a limited number of crafters in each media to prevent duplication of items. Category 1 artists and crafters are required to submit a photo of a sample of their craft or art with application. We will post your photo on the Louie Bluie Festival website so people can view examples of items that will be for sale.
- Non-profit** entities who want to sell products; $40 per booth ($35 if paid by July 30)
- Non-selling (i.e. historical/educational display; “non-profit/information-only” display). No charge
**Non-profit means your organization holds a 501(C) status from the IRS and the State of Tennessee
EARLY ENTRY DISCOUNT: Category 1 exhibitors (see description above) who reserve/pay for booth space by July 30, 2011, may deduct $5 (pay only $35). Early entry must be postmarked by this date. Applications after July 30 accepted only for full fee payment and as long as space permits.
COST: This is a straight fee only opportunity (no commissions, or combinations of commissions and fees). You may send check or money order, payable to “CCC-Louie Bluie Music & Art Festival“. Sorry, no credit cards accepted.
TENTS: This festival is an outdoor event. All spaces approximately 10’ x 10’. All categories must provide their own tent, display table, chairs, and signs. Vendors must erect their own tent (set up times to be determined). All vendors must be under a tent because weather is a factor. No funeral home tents. If your tent is larger than 10 X 10 you will need to rent two spaces.
PRODUCTS: The Louie Bluie Music & Art Festival is dedicated to artists and artisans whose products are created or crafted by hand, reflecting skills of the individual. Imported or commercially produced products are not appropriate. Sale of any live animal or plants is prohibited. Candidates for political office or representatives of political causes or parties may not qualify as a vendor. Signage announcing SALE, CLOSEOUT, or CLEARANCE is prohibited.
RETURNED CHECKS: There will be a $30 NSF fee charged for returned checks. This fee, plus the full booth fee must then be paid in cash or money order before application deadline in order to reserve space.
CANCELLATION: Category 1 exhibitors (see description above) who cancel by September 10, 2011 will be refunded half of the fee paid. Cancellations after this date mean your fee is forfeited, no refund. There will be no refunds to Category 2 exhibitors who cancel regardless.
VENDOR INFORMATION PACKET: Parking decals, festival grounds layout map will be sent via postal mail approximately two weeks before festival.
