-All exhibitors are responsible for their own props, including tables, tent/canopy, hanging materials, and/or folding chairs that you may need for your booth. White tents are preferred, but blue or tan colored tents are acceptable (white tents make your work look better and your display more sophisticated- the TCAC has a limited number of white easy-ups, display racks, and easels for rent at https://www.myartscouncil.net/equipment-rentals.html
-Spots will be assigned by the Tri-County Arts Council staff. The use of the designated tent space is restricted to the artist to whom it is assigned. Art in the Park accommodates 10’x10’ outdoor tent spaces; all exhibiting artists must display their work in their festival tent. Artist must be present during the event.
-Tents will be set up on the lawn area and all exhibitors will be required to use weighted tie downs to protect artwork as well as for the safety of you, your fellow artists, and event attendees. Tents that are considered acceptable for this event include the white E-Z Up style tent (we highly recommend a white tent, they look more professional and the light coming through a colored tent makes your work look awful) or any other sturdy canopy with a frame. Camping tents, tarps, or plastic sheeting are not acceptable. All tents must be anchored down properly with weights in case of bad weather.
-Cultural Non-profit Organizations - Cultural organizations with 501(c)(3) tax exempt status, NYS Board of Regents educational charters, charities, or churches are welcome to exhibit during the same hours of operation and under the same tent space requirements.
