Levels of Entry to the Show

Basic Entrant

The basic entry fee ($35) helps cover advertising and costs. Plus you get contact information printed in the brochure and a simple listing on the show website.

Premium Entrant

The Premium entry fee ($100) adds a fuller listing with a small image in the brochure and a page on the website with and image and full contact information, a brief introduction to you and your art or business plus up to five images of your work.

We will contact you a couple of weeks before the show to get images and text for the website and brochure.

The images should be in JPEG format, sized to a maximum of 640x640 - use reasonable compression options to optimise quality and minmize file size. Please label the images first_last_n  using the underscores and where n is the slide number between 1-5 (eg Joe_Woodworker_1). This saves time setting up the webpage.

Please look at prior year exhbitor's pages to get sense of the length and depth of the descriptions used on the pages. If you want additional links in the text please include links. Please write your description so that it is a simple cut and paste job. Terse is good!

Calls for Entry

We've found that 25-27 is about the ideal number of exhibitors plus exhibits from the local high schools. The show is unjuried and we accept people on a first come first served basis (there are a few constraints see Work to be shown ).

Applications will be accepted from August 15th to October 15th of the show year. We will not accept entries postmarked (or email marked) prior to August 15th. Full directions are on the call for entry

Work to be shown

We will not accept work shown at a prior show - our goal is to keep the show fresh. Also we will reject work that is made from a kit or commercially available plans.

Show  Hours

First Saturday in November from 11am to 8 pm (to coincide with the Port Townsend Gallery Walk)

Sunday from 11am to 3pm.

Show Logisitics

  1. You will need to deliver and set up your work on the Friday before the show between 2pm and 7pm
  2. You will need to pick up your work on Sunday of the show between 3pm and 5pm.
  3. We encourage you to attend most if not all of the show. The viewing public enjoys talking with the craftspeople. If you can't attend please ask a relative or friend to help out. Saturday is a long day - plan on getting food & drink delivered or for somebody to spell you at those times.

  4. We suggest you have a supply of business cards or postcards to hand out and a poster or logo to give your space character.

  5. A rug or throw also adds character to your space. If you have a lighting setup feel free to bring it but we cannot guarantee that there will be an operational socket by your space. The power supply in the hall is a little erratic.

  6. We will provide tent cards to identify each space and name tags for exhibitors

  7. If your work is not self supporting you will need to provide support.

  8. If you need more than 5’ x 8’ please contact us to make arrangements.

  9. Wall space is available

  10. No commission will be taken on work sold
