exhibitor requirements
Original / handcrafted work by exhibitor’s own hand
Weighted canopy (unless approved by Jury)
Personal display equipment
NOTE: The Calabasas Arts Council does not rent
display equipment or canopies.
Only work created by the exhibitor’s own hand will
be considered and all submissions are subject to jury
discretion. Artists must submit photos of the work
to be sold during the Festival. One additional photo
of the booth display is also required to help the jury
see the size of the work and set up style. It is the goal
of the Arts Council to raise the level of craftsmanship
each year; therefore the jury process is based on the
current submission information and not seniority or
previous participation. Jury acceptance is based on
the quality and uniqueness of one’s work as well as
the overall festival aesthetic. When placing vendors
in the show, the Arts Council will attempt to meet
personal requests regarding sun direction, corner
spaces and other personal needs. Please note that
there are no guarantees and the producers will also
factor in the show’s overall aesthetic, competing
mediums, similarity among price points, an optimal
load-in/loud out timeframe and Fire Marshall codes.
illustrious artist contest
Artists who agree to release their photos will be entered
in the 2015 "Illustrious Artist" contest. Winners will
receive awards and recognition by city officials as well as
have images of their work featured in flyers, posters,
cable television programs and news releases. The highest
ranked Artist of the Year will receive a free 10x10 booth
space within premium section of the show. Don’t forget
to check “yes” on the application!

Working directly with the City of
Calabasas, Commissioner Laureen
