Call for Artists, Making Money at Juried Art Fairs, Craft Shows and Festivals
Tents and Weights
I found this today while researching the Columbus Arts Festival:
The Columbus Arts Festival has introduced new regulations due to weather related incidents, EZ-Up and accordion style tents are not allowed for use during the Festival. Any violation to these rules will result in the removal of the exhibitor.
Also
The Columbus Arts Festival is currently working on a required weight system. This section will be updated as information is finalized.
I know the weather wreaked havoc on shows last year, do you think more shows will do this?
I am entering my third year of art shows and still have an EZ-UP. I use PVC weights and concrete blocks and have been fine so far. But haven't seen any really nasty weather...Just how much is enough weight?

Hi Linnea,
We are still working on the final site plan but both sides of the river will be used--food, beverages, entertainment and activities will be on both sides with a pedestrian flow across our two new bridges. Before the bridges were closed for reconstruction the Festival was on both sides of the river and was successful with that site plan and pedestrian flow. The key is making sure there are artists and lots of interesting things to see, do, eat and drink on both sides of the river. We hope to have the site plan finalized within the next 2-3 weeks.

Are artists able to stake into the ground, or do the weights need to be hanging?
