The Sculpture Court of the DMC has a unique shape and a limited amount of space available for tables and displays so it is essential that artists plan ahead, measure their displays carefully and keep within their designated space. While a limited number of extended booths are available, availability is not guaranteed.
It is best to think of the market as a boutique version of an outdoor art fair. You may be used to setting up a ten foot booth outdoors but the standard booth size here is smaller measuring 8' in length facing customers and 6' depth. The space accommodates a 6' foot table well with room behind it for the artist to sit. There may only be a foot or two between where your 8' feet end and the next artist's 8' feet begins. While we plan enough space for artists to enter and exit, there is not space for shoppers to walk around the side of your table in most standard setups unless you happen to be on a corner. If you would like set an L shaped display that customers can visit from the front and from one side, you should request an extended booth and measure and plan accordingly. Please refer to photos below to see examples of tables/booths at a Holiday Artist Market.
Booths will be located throughout the Sculpture Court and will be assigned by DMC staff based on market flow, visitor accessibility, and variety and size of media. Special requests can be submitted but may not be accommodated.
At your request, DMC will provide one 2.5' x 6' table, one – two chairs and white table linens. 5' x 2' tables are also available by request. A second table for extended booths only is available by request.
The Sculpture Court has an upper and a sunken middle area with stairs or ramp for access. Artist booths are located throughout.
Two artists may share a booth space but each artist must provide the same number of photos and media must be accurately and equally presented in the application for jury consideration.
Additional display pieces and embellishments are allowed for display purposes but must conform to the allotted 8' x 6' space. Displays may have a maximum height of 6'. Displays exceeding 5’ in height must be accurately described to management prior to booth payment for mapping to place artists in spaces that do not overly hinder the view of neighboring artists. This is an indoor event in a small space so respect for neighbors is essential in making this an aesthetically pleasing and successful event for all.
Tents and canopies are prohibited.
Electrical outlets are upon request. Artists must supply their own power strip and extension cord.
Standard Booth: approx. 8’ length x 6’d - $150
Extended Booth: approx. 10’ length x 6’d - $225
