- 37” wide x 69” high display panels in the center of the room- $40 each for multiples of 2. (room for several hanging pieces depending on the size, and a bin and/or a small 2 foot table). You can “buy” more than one set of panels while supplies last.
- Two artists can share a booth or panel section.
- To share a booth or a panel section, register yourself and a “guest”. You will pay for the whole booth, your “guest” will pay you.
Requirements and Details
General- All types of art and crafts are acceptable but must be made by you. No food or perishables.

Legal Waiver
To meet legal requirements, all artists must consent to the waiver taking responsibility for the originality of their work and the disclaimer releasing PHAC and the United Methodist Church from responsibility for loss or damage of artwork. You will consent electronically when you register.
10x10 booths
- Have 10 linear feet of wall space
- Your art and display materials must be neatly inside your assigned space
10w x 5d booths
- Small booths are against the wall, but have little or no space for hanging artwork.
- You can use your own panels or easels.
- Your art and display materials must fit neatly inside your assigned space.
Display panels:
- Your space is very limited.
- You want to maintain a tidy, “gallery wall” look.
- The panels are 37w x 69h, so your artwork can’t exceed those measurements.
- There is no storage space.
- You may fit a small 2’ table (4 sq ft or smaller) and a bin (maximum 35” L) within the space.
- Some 2’ bins are available from PHAC, or order a “Folding Canvas Print Rack” from Jerry’s Artarama online. PHAC has no small tables.
- Walkways must remain clear.
Hanging artwork:
- If you plan to hang artwork on the wall or on display panels, you have to use an eyelet and wire system.
- Create business card-size labels (3" x 2.5") with clear font or hand printing. (Blanks for printers are available at office supply stores) for all artworks that look like this:
-
In booths, the labels can be taped to the front of the artwork. With display panels, labels are affixed to the panel next to the artwork.
Sales
- PHAC will handle sale transactions including sales tax. You won’t need to have credit card readers or Venmo, etc.
- Chairs will be provided for each artist.
- Some 8-foot tables are available by reservation.
- There is hanging hardware for the wall space and for the panels.
- You will provide all other setup and display materials.
Advertising the Show
- Artists will be expected to advertise the show and their own work via whatever means they can, including social media, craigslist, next door, etc.
- PHAC will hang a banner outside the church, do one newspaper ad, and post online to free Denver event postings.
- Artists will make signs that we’ll put around the neighborhood the day before and the day of the show. You will be notified of a sign-making open studio a couple of weeks before the show.
Inventory sheet
- Create your own inventory sheet and bring a copy for PHAC on the day of the show.
Miscellaneous:
- Arrange your space to bring people in, so that customers can get in and out easily without doing any damage to your space, to you, or to your work. Keep the flow as open as possible.
- Bring plenty of artwork. Consider having a broad range of prices.
- Bring packaging and bags that might be needed for your arts and crafts when purchased. PHAC has some recycled plastic bags.
- Volunteers will be available to mind your space for you if you need a brief time away.
- Snacks and water will be available to exhibitors and volunteers.
- Bring signage with your name to label your booth and business cards if you wish.
- MAKE SURE ALL YOUR WORK HAS A PRICE LABEL AND YOUR NAME.
