Rules and Regulations
TO REGISTER: If you have never participated in this show, prior to registering, please send us an email with sample images of your work and a link to your website. Participants are selected by a jury process. You will be notified within a week of your application email as to whether you were accepted or not. Please also include in your email whether you prefer a tented or covered space. Send images of your work to divalarson@aol.com to begin the jury process.
The approved exhibitor must be present in the booth for the duration of the show. No representatives may attend in the place of the artist, nor can artist's have 3rd party representation handling the negotiations or set up. All artwork must be original art and original concept, produced by the artist. Your final displayed art and the booth must be consistent with the images submitted in your application. Art that is not consistent with jury images will be removed. Artists may exhibit artwork only in the category/medium in which they were accepted. High quality professional reproductions (prints) are allowed, however, all reproductions must be clearly labeled as such. Framed prints are allowed if they are labeled as prints.
Buy/sell vendors are strictly prohibited. Work made from commercial molds, kits or work from production studios is not permitted. T-shirts or commercial clothing that has been purchased and embellished, or printed with artwork is not permitted. Artists will be asked to remove ineligible work or be expelled from the show. If an artist is expelled from the show, there will be no refund of the booth fee.
Artists are responsible for proper insurance and protection of their work and booth.
Tents must be 10x10, and well secured with plenty of weight. Isola Arts will not be responsible for damage to work or booths for any reason. Most covered (non-tented) spaces come with tables, but be sure to bring what you need. Tables should be covered with tarps and clamps at night to protect your work from weather.
Vehicles must be removed from the show area no later than 10am on show days and parked in the designated artist parking areas. There are no exceptions here. We need to provide patrons as much parking space as possible. Designated artist parking has been created next to the barn silos and in the back of the tented area this year to make it easier for non-tented artists, as it is closer to the exhibit area. Tented artists can park next to or near their tents if there is room.
Exhibitors leaving early without authorization, or artists who don't show up, will not be invited back to future shows.
Fire extinguishers are recommended.
All artists are responsible for collecting and reporting sales tax, which is 7% in Indian River County.
REFUNDS: In the event a registered artist is unable to participate, a request for a refund may be made up until January 24, 2026. The artist will be refunded 50% of the booth fee. There is no refund after January 24th. This is a rain or shine show. There will be no refunds for inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances. There is no scheduled rain date, but due to the show's popularity, one may be added if we have to cancel. A no-call, no-show exhibitor will be ineligible for future shows.
