Booths
Standard Booths (10 'x 12'): $375 (this allows for 2' of "storage" behind your booth dimensions of 10' x 10')
Larger Booths (14' to 20' widths): $40 per additional foot. There are a limited number of larger booths/corner booths in designated spaces. Please pay for the additional footage at time of paying for your booth. This is on a first paid first reserved basis.
Note: Extra footage will not be released until after 04/01/23 due to uncertainty of city regulations.
Each exhibitor must provide his/her own display and white canopy. No generators allowed. Booth spaces are assigned at the discretion of the Talbot Street Art Fair Committee.
The fair is set up on a historic city street. Therefore, 6' of the booth's front will be at street level and the remaining 4' will be on the sidewalk. The sidewalk is approximately 3" to 6" higher than the street.
IF YOU PREVIOUSLY EXHIBITED AND WANT YOUR PREVIOUS SPACE, WE WILL TRY TO ACCOMMODATE YOU. If you are unsure of your booth number, tell us "same as last year" and we will research it.

If there are concerns about being able to set up in time, email us immediately.

The neighborhood has been given assurances that they will be able to get out of their garages until this time. Booths must be fully set up by 9:30 am on Saturday for judging to begin.
