ALLEY ART MARKET 2023
Come sell, promote or showcase your original art in the Alley behind Jambalaya Arts Inc. during the Farmers Market in 2023!
​
The Alley Art Market is the 2nd Saturday of June (complete), August, September and October of 2023.
​
All art sold must be original pieces made (or assembled if re-purposing/recycling objects) by the person tending each space. You will be asked on the application what type of art you will be showing.
No re-sellers, 3rd party, or commercial products. Pieces sold MUST have a hand made component. Prints, stickers, digital work and photography are allowed as long as they are images/creations you personally took, made or created the content of in some way. We request that when registering that you upload an image of what you will be selling/promoting so we can place you not next to someone selling/promoting something similar. We may also use the images you send in a promotional post for the public to advertise the event in advance.
​
No food or beverages will be allowed to be sold. We will have bottled water available for sale at each Alley Art Market for artists and customers.
​
You are welcome to sell, promote or showcase your art or creative business from your space. You are not required to sell anything.
​
Artists of all ages, types of art and levels of expertise are encouraged to participate!
​
A parent or legal guardian needs to be present to register and sign the waiver for artists under 18. Artists 16-18 can tend their booth alone after being registered. Artists 15 and under need to have a parent or guardian register, sign the waiver and be present for the entire time the minor is showing at the Alley Art Market.
​
Space and size to vend are limited. Artists MUST stay within the size booth, they are registered for. The alley is not that big and we planned as many spots as possible.
​
The fee for registering is $6. (up from $5 due to the min charge for the Eventzilla platform)
If you need to cancel your reservation, email us @ jambalaya.arts.inc@gmail.com and we will process your cancellation and refund which will be $4, which is taking out the Eventzilla fee.
If something comes up and you need to cancel, please let us know ASAP so we can open your spot for someone else. There will be no refunds for no-shows.
​
In the case of rain, inclement weather or other circumstances beyond our control, the Alley Art Market will be cancelled and $4 refunded to each registrant. We have permits from the city for these specific dates and cannot change them.
​
Space sizes and availability are: (22 total)
4' x 6' "tentable" 10 spaces (large part of the alley)
4' x 6' "non-tentable", 3 spaces (on narrow alleyway)
3' x 6' "non-tentable" 9 spaces (on narrow alleyway)
​
Set up begins at 6am and runs until 7:50 am to coincide with the Farmers Market opening at 8am. The Alley Art Market runs from 8 am to 2 pm. Anyone arriving after 7:30am will not be allowed to set up. There are no penalties for taking your booth down prior to 2pm as traffic starts to dwindle when the Farmers Market closes at 12:30 but we will be there with music/entertainment until 2pm.
​
We will be assigning spots for people in advance and will send out a map with your space a day or so prior to the market. There will be a welcome/registration table where you can let us know you've arrived and confirm your spot. There is a general waiver that we will bring around for each participant to sign that the city required as this is taking place on city owned property.
​
You must provide your own tables and set up items. Keep in mind your available space. A standard pop-up tent will not fit in the narrow part of the alley but it is shaded and protected (mostly) from the sun during the market times. If you reserve a 'tentable' space in the larger part of the alley and bring a tent (not required but suggested) please bring weights to hold your tent down. The alley can become a wind tunnel even with a slight breeze and destroy your tent. 25-40lbs per leg is suggested. Cinder blocks and rope work well.
If you are doing cash only sales, be sure to bring change. We will not be able to provide change. Consider taking electronic forms of payment such as Paypal, Venmo, CashApp or Zelle.
​
Recording and reporting sales and any taxes due are the responsibility of each artist. Showing your art is at your own risk and Jambalaya Arts Inc is not responsible for any damages or loss to merchandise before, during or after the event.
