We are offering the remaining artist spots for our October Alley Art Market for FREE!
The only requirement is that all art/creations/media sold or shown must be original pieces made (or printed, or assembled if re-purposing/recycling objects) by the person tending each space.
No third party or commercial products. Pieces sold MUST have a hand made component. Prints, stickers and photography are fine as long as they are images or drawings you personally took or created in some way.
You will be required to upload an image of the types of things you will be selling/promoting so we can assure you are showing original work and assign spots for people with similar items to not be right next to eachother. If you have a friend also vending, let us know if you'd like to be situated close to them and we will do our best to accomidate.
*******************************************************************************
The Alley Art Market is the 2nd Saturday of each month; June 9th, July 13th, August 10th & August 17th (in conjunction with the Art in the Alley music event), September 14th and October 12th of 2024.
As this event is taking place on city property, there will be a standard waiver of liability that includes both Jambalaya and the City of Oshkosh. We will bring these around prior to the start of the market and must be signed by each booth participant.
Artists of all ages, types of art and levels of expertise are encouraged to participate!
IMPORTANT for artists under 18: A parent or legal guardian needs to be present to sign the waiver for artists under 18. Artists 16-17 can tend their booth alone after the waiver is signed. Artists 15 and under need to have a parent or guardian register on-line, sign the waiver and be present for the entire time the minor is showing at the Alley Art Market.
Artists need to stay within the size booth, they are registered for.
As the remaining spots are FREE, if you register then find you cannot attend, please let us know by emailing jambalaya.arts.inc@gmail.com so we can cancel your registration and let someone else sign up.
Set up begins at 6:30 am. The Farmers Market openins at 8am. The Alley Art Markets run from 8 am to 2 pm. You are requested to stay until at least 12:30 (when the Farmer's Market closes) but are not required to stay for the entire market.
Spaces will be assigned prior to the market, an email will be sent on Thursday or Friday with a map with first names & a copy of the image you uploaded so you know where to go when you arrive.
Please arrive sometime between 6:30am-7:30am depending on the time it will take you to set up your space to be ready for the opening of the Alley Art Market (and Farmer's Market) by 8am. Foot traffic doesn't start ramping up until around 9am but it's good to be set up before the public starts to arrive for the Farmer's Market.
YOU MUST PROVIDE YOUR OWN SET UP ITEMS. We may have chairs you can borrow but plan on bringing your own table. We also have several patio umbrellas and stands available on a first come/first serve basis for shade if you're not bringing a tent. (only 4x6 spots are tentable).
If you register for a 4'x6' space that is "tentable" you can bring up to a 10'x10' canopy or pop-up shelter from the sun/elements. It is not required to have a tent in a 'tentable' spot. If bringing a tent, it is adviseable to bring weights for the legs as the alley can get very windy and your tent is susceptible to being blown down and broken if you do not have it weighted down.
If you are doing cash only sales, be sure to bring change. We will not be able to provide change. Consider taking electronic forms of payment such as Square, Paypal, Venmo, CashApp or Zelle.
Recording and reporting sales and any taxes due are the responsibility of each artist. Showing your art is at your own risk and Jambalaya Arts Inc is not responsible for any injuries, or damages or loss to merchandise or display items before, during or after these events. You will be required to sign a waiver prior to setting up your booth. See the note above on artists 17 and under.
There is a clause in the WI tax code that sellers that bring in less than $2,000 annualy or only do occasional sales are exempt from charging sales tax. It is up to each artist vending to determine if they fall in this category. If you will be charging sales tax, email us prior to the market so we can have you complete a S-240 form.
PLEASE ONLY REGISTER FOR ONE BOOTH SPACE AND SIZE.
Duplicate registrations will be cancelled.
These markets are supported in part by a grant from the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation and the Wisconsin Arts Board and by the Downtown Oshkosh BID.
