Art in a Pickle Barn Terms & Conditions

The show is an element of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival and the show is listed in the Tulip Festival guide/map.

 

The Skagit Art Association (SAA) board reserves the right to adjust the open/close dates to coincide with the bloom time.

 

The Art in a Pickle Barn is a central checkout juried show that includes paintings, drawings, prints, collages, jewelry, woodworking, 3D art, mixed media, photography, cards, fiber art, soap, and candles. 

 

In submitting a membership or an Art in a Pickle Barn application, I agree to abide by SAA by-laws and show rules as well as comply with the SAA and Fire Marshals’ space regulations. I take full responsibility for any damages and agree that SAA and the hosting property owners are not responsible for any damage or theft of my merchandise.

 

SAA Show & Sale Rules:

  • Current SAA membership is required.

  • The Full Board may limit the number of artists who have similar work if they deem it necessary and beneficial to the current artists and the show.

  • All items for sale must be handmade/ handcrafted by the artist. There needs to be creative, and artistic effort by the artist.   An example of unacceptable art would be if an artist took pre-made jewelry findings (chains, ear hoops, etc.) and simply attached a pre-made charm.

  • Originals, plus prints and cards of the originals are permitted. Commercial and imported items are not allowed.   No more than 10% of your booth will be items that are purchased with your original artwork on them such as mugs, acrylic cubes, pre-made tote bags, etc.

  • Artist must supply their own tables and display furniture.

  • If electricity is needed, please indicate this on the application form and you will need to provide your own power strip and extension cords.

  • The artist must work at least three 4-hour shifts at the show.  The shifts will be determined by the number of artists and the number of days we are open.

  • It is highly recommended that you attend the monthly meetings, especially the months prior to the show. Meetings are held monthly, except in April, July, August and December.

  • The artist must provide one or more items of your art to be available for sale with the proceeds going to the scholarship fund. The recommended value of the item is $25 or more.  Another option to fulfill this requirement is to provide a $25 donation to the scholarship fund.

  • New artists to the show must provide 3 photographs of your art plus a picture of your booth to be considered/ juried for the show.  The photos can be used on the website as well as for other promotional purposes.

 

The SAA Board reserves the right of final evaluation and decision of acceptability of artwork to be admitted at the show.

 

SAA will deduct a 15% commission to be used for the costs associated with the show and for the scholarship fund.

The SAA membership application will be available June 1st.  The Art in a Pickle Barn application will be available shortly after that.  Fees will be accepted starting June 1st and must be received by December 31st. No refunds will be made after December 31st.  Submitting an application for jury review after this deadline will be accepted if space is available, however the fees for the booth space will increase.
