• The cost of participation is $50 for a 10×10 space.
• Artists are responsible for bringing all materials needed to sell and display their work (tables, chairs, tents.)
• Artists are responsible for any business dealings, including but not limited to reporting of city/state sales tax, licenses, etc.

SPACES:

• We reserve the right to assign spaces, primarily to ensure that an artist is not located near a store or vendor with similar items.
• Spaces cannot be shared without our prior knowledge/permission.
• If your space is occupied upon arrival, typically with a car, PLEASE CONTACT US and we will figure it out.

INSTRUCTIONS:

• DETAILED instructions will be sent a few days prior to the event.
• Please read and follow all instructions. Any questions, please ask.
• IF INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED:
  We reserve the right to ask you to leave and/or not offer a future opportunity to attend. No refund.

ITEMS NOT ALLOWED:

• There are certain items we cannot allow to be sold at the event. The items are (but not limited to) beaded bracelets, gemstones/crystals, soaps, food/beverage items…etc.
• If we deem any item to be inappropriate for our event, it must be removed.
• If items are not removed, you may be asked to leave. No refund.

SET-UP & BREAKDOWN:

• The artist is responsible for set-up and breakdown on the night of the event.
• Again, detailed information regarding times and rules will be sent before each event.

ELECTRICITY:

• Electricity is NOT guaranteed.
• Our power source comes from the city-operated light poles and is often unreliable.
• We have no jurisdiction over them and cannot be held accountable if the electricity isn’t properly operating during the event.
• We HIGHLY encourage you to bring solar-powered or battery-operated lights.

WEATHER:

• SWFL weather can be unpredictable at best, but we will make every effort to proceed with an event. 
• Because rain and gusty wind can occur suddenly, we ask artists to bring whatever is needed to protect themselves and their artwork.
• The RDA is not responsible for any damage that may occur.
• Should we decide to cancel an event prior to set-up, your fee will be refunded.

CONDUCT, ETC:

• All artists are expected to act in a professional manner.
• RDA staff reserves the right to ask an artist/vendor to leave the event for any misconduct. No refund.
• Any artist/vendor that is asked to leave an event due to misconduct will not be allowed at future events.
• Misconduct is determined solely by RDA.
