Vendor space is available for those who wish to participate, however space is limited. To guarantee availability, submit your application early.
New Vendors: Please submit four (4) photos of your work to be exhibited as well as a photo of your booth as it will be displayed. If this is not available, submit a photo of a grouping of artwork displayed as it will be shown in the festival. A panel jury will independently review all entries for quality, originality, diversity, and booth presentation. The goal of the Festival is to present a variety of quality products.
We are asking that all vendors (art and flute) donate an item to the Silent Auction. Please send a picture and description of the item to Marty.Lisonbee@gmail.com for inclusion on the website. Your bid sheet at the silent auction will identify you and your booth space, so this is a great way for you to advertise. Flute makers – your flutes will most likely be played and critiqued by many potential customers.
Vendors will receive one complimentary ticket to either the Friday or Saturday concert at the O.C. Tanner Amphitheatre.
Vendor Fees:
Vendors who participated in the 2007 Festival may submit applications and pay booth fees on or before February 28, 2008, to guarantee a booth space. These vendors will not be assessed a jury fee. After this date, guarantees will expire and all vendor applications will be considered equally until all booth spaces are filled.
The cost for a 10 x 10 booth is $150, a 10 x 20 booth is $200, and a 10 x 30 booth is $250. Vendors are responsible for their booth, tables, chairs, and canopy if one is desired. Tables and chairs will be available for rental at the Festival (see vendor application).
A jury fee of $15 will be charged to all vendors that did not participate in the 2007 Festival.
Vendors need to provide marketing materials to the webmaster so the website can be updated to include your product information. This is a great opportunity for you to advertise.

Vendor Rules:
1. Original Work: All work exhibited must be original artwork produced by the artist. Work produced with commercial kits, molds, patterns, plans or prefabricated forms or any commercial method is not permitted. The only exception will be flute-player-related non-competing, authorized items. Kalimba’s, for example, might not be made by any attending vendor, and yet have a place at a flute festival because the attendees have an interest in the item. This new category of juried items must not compete with any handmade vendor items. Any vendor that wishes to sell items of this nature MUST have these juried by the festival committee. A juried flute maker, for example, may not simply show up with items like this not listed on their application.
2. No Representatives: Artist must be present during the entirety of the festival. Any helpers must be reported to the promoter and receive a badge to identify them.
3. Prints/Reproductions: The printmaking category is reserved for original prints: etchings, engraving, stone/plate lithographs, woodcuts, serigraphs, and original digital prints. Reproductions of works of art (paintings, watercolors, acrylics, drawings) must be labeled as such and constitute not more than 50% of the artist’s booth contents.
4. Sharing: Artists sharing booths must submit separate applications and indicate they are sharing a booth with another artist. Artists may only share 10 x 10 booth and must be pre-approved.
5. Exhibit: Artists are responsible for construction and tearing down of their exhibits and are solely responsible for their contents. Artists will be required to sign a Waiver of Liability upon arrival at the Festival.
6. Weather: Zion Canyon frequently experiences gusty winds. Artists should anchor their booths accordingly to prevent injury to themselves or others. Heavy weights (sand bags) on each leg of the booth are recommended.
7. Security: Artists are solely responsible for securing the contents of their booth. Police officers will be patrolling the grounds, however it is recommended that valuable items be removed overnight.
8. Check-In: Upon arrival, vendors must check in at the information booth. At that time, packets will be distributed that include booth space number, sales tax information and forms, parking pass, and a lanyard and badge. This badge must be worn at all times on Festival grounds to identify you as a vendor. Upon arrival, parking and set-up instructions will be given.
9. Sales Tax: Utah State tax instructions and forms will be included in the vendor packet. Artists are responsible for submitting sales tax.
10. Refunds: Cancellations must be received in writing no later than May 12, 2008 in order to receive a refund. Refunds will be 90% of the vendor booth fee. Jury fees will not be refunded.
