INFORMATION REGARDING BOOTH SETUP When making your request keep in mind your booth’s location will determine when you are allowed to set up for the show.

Spaces on Park Ave can begin setup after 5AM on FRIDAY MARCH 14, 2008 and must check in with the space assignment committee before beginning setup.
POLICIES REGARDING SPACE ASSIGNMENTS We will do our best to consider your space assignment request. Please inform us now of any concerns based on the nature of your art so we can give your needs adequate attention. Space assignments are based on many variables including: number of entries per category, distribution of categories throughout the show, and set-up concerns. We also take into account the number of years an artist has been in the show and awards presented to an artist by our show in previous years. Because many artists make similar booth location requests, we cannot assign everyone their top choice. However, the space assignment committee has evaluated and adjusted the position of all booths in the show to ensure every booth can offer our artists a successful show.

Festival Rules
GENERAL INFORMATION
Please read the entire application completely.
A juried fine arts and fine crafts show, the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival tm combines the unique atmosphere of Park Avenue and Central Park in Winter Park, Florida with a knowledgeable, art-buying public. Attendance usually exceeds 350,000 people for the three -day event, which celebrates its 49th year on March 14, 15 and 16, 2008. To create a more intimate experience for artists and patrons alike, this year’s show will include no more than 225 booths. This smaller, more exclusive show will allow for enhanced pedestrian flows and increased visibility for all artists.
Only original work may be displayed and offered for sale. The work must be attributable solely to the exhibitor and created anytime after January 1, 2006. Artists must be with their exhibits during the entirety of the Festival. Proxy representation will not be allowed.
Our reputation for enforcing the rules is deserved. During the festival, all displays will be visited by Viewing Committee members to ensure that they are in compliance with Festival rules. It is our exclusive right and responsibility to remove work that is not in compliance. Non-compliance will result in expulsion and ineligibility for judging, awards and future Festival participation. Ours is a family-oriented event, and exhibits must be in keeping with this atmosphere.
Each space measures 10’ by 12’. The artist’s display, including booth and viewing bins, must be contained within this space. An artist may have only one space, with the exception of dual category acceptance. The work of only one exhibitor may be displayed in each assigned space. A minimum of six pieces must be displayed. The Festival retains the right to regulate various aspects of the booth display including, but not limited to, number of pieces of artwork, size/number of bins, and overall placement within the allotted space.
