Turtle Hill Events welcomes your application to the 1st Brighid's Well Artisans' Room. Our goal is to provide the best possible show for our artisans and attendees. The Artisans' Room is the heart of our event, and we aim to hold it to high standards.

Booth fees are $250. The booth fee will include two entries into the event, a $70 value. You don’t have to self-identify as Pagan (or any particular flavor of Paganism/Wicca/ Heathenry) to apply to be considered as an artisan at our event, though you should be aware that most of our attendees will be looking for items and techniques that are somehow related to their spiritual paths.

We encourage our artists to submit classes for our consideration. We are looking for 2 hour classes teaching a wide variety of topics relating to crafting and/or spirituality. We will be paying our teachers $10 per attendee for each class, so this is a good way to earn back your booth fees. You can also add a materials fee to your class which we will collect for you and give to you on the first day of the event. Please apply to teach a class or two! We'd love to have you on our faculty!

To be considered for our Artisans' Room, you must fulfill the following requirements:

• All work must be original works of fine art or craft.

• All work must be attributed solely to the displaying artisan.

• Artwork from molds, kits or other commercial methods, or resale items, are not eligible to be exhibited.

How to Apply:

• Fill out the application online and be prepared to put the $100 application fee on your credit card. If you are accepted as an Artisan, you will be notified no later than July 20, 2010, and the remainder of your booth fee will be charged at that time. If you are not accepted, your $100 application fee will be returned to you.

• Submit three photos or digital photos of your work. If you have a photo of your booth set-up, please include that as well. Photos will not be returned to you. To submit digital photos, please do so using the registration system or email them to catpaw@comcast.net.

The fine print:

• No amplified music is permitted. If you have incense or candles, they may not be lit in the hotel.

• Sharing booth space is not permitted. If items for sale do not reflect the items on the application, you will be asked to remove them.

• Work must be contained in the 10'x10' booth space, and the booth must be self-contained. You may not attach any hardware to any walls, floors or ceilings of the Artisan's Room. We will provide you with two chairs and an 8' by 15" table for your booth. Any other tables or furniture must be provided by the exhibitor.

Exhibit floor hours will be Friday 4 pm-9 pm, Saturday 10 am- 7 pm, Sunday 10 am-4 pm. Exhibitors will have till 6 pm on Sunday to load out, after which they will have to pay a $100 penalty. Exhibitors who leave before 4 pm on Sunday will forfeit future invitations to participate in the show.
