Hi Greta,

Welcome to the site. There are a lot of wonderful people here who are willing to share their experiences and expertise.

Regarding the word *vendor*:
While the word *vendor* may bear negative connotations for you, it's just a word, the definition of which is "one who vends, or sells; seller." As an artist, I am not bothered by the use of the word vendor to describe my participation in a show. As a show director, I generally refer to our artist participants as participating artists and the food sellers as vendors.

By creating a distinction that vendor is a negative term, artists make an assumption that show directors don't respect them. Not true--I always endeavor to treat the artists in my shows with respect, but calling them vendors has nothing to do with anything. Just my two cents...

Barbara
