Artist Sale Options

100% of the art vendor fee will go towards student scholarships within the School of Art + Design. 

Booth: These are 10'x10' areas on the Doudna Fine Arts Center's Concourse. Artists purchasing booth locations are required to be present during the open festival hours.

Booth Consignment: You will not need to provide any upfront cost. You will be required to share a sale report at the end of each day and make a payment of 25% of your total sales to the festival prior to loading out on Sunday, December 6, 2026. You are still required to stay with your booth during the festival hours and sell your own items.

Traditional Consignment: This sale type allows the artist to drop off their work (labeled and priced) for the festival staff to sell. Artists participating in the traditional consignment sales are not required to be present during festival hours and will receive a summary sheet indicating the results of their sales upon picking up their work. Consignment artists will receive a check less 25% for all works sold within approximately four weeks of the sale. Each artist may submit up to 100 works for consignment. If you select this sale type, you will receive more detailed instructions prior to drop-off.
