Booth Info
SPRING/FALL
Makers Booth Space Sizes and Regulations:
Spring and Fall Makers Markets at Arlene's will be held outside in the store’s parking lot. Makers' booth spaces are a maximum of 10 feet by 10 feet. Makers cannot exceed their allotted spaces. We have ten spaces and need to make room for everyone. NOTE: Because the Makers Markets at Arlene's is going to be located outside Makers need to take the necessary precautions. Booth Spaces do not include anything. Exhibitors are responsible for bringing their own tables, chairs, an area covering (i.e. tents) that must be secured in windy conditions, lighting, promo materials, and display apparatus.
Makers cannot increase the size of the booth artificially. They can create wall space with the use of easels, bins, or other props but cannot exceed the designated size of the booth. Scheduling Makers, booth/table placements, and Market design are at the sole discretion of Arlene's Artist Materials, and Arlene's reserves the right to make changes in booth assignments and/or Market configuration at any time.
