What Kind of equipment... ?

Usually the artists have a gazebo to house their displays.  You will need some type of supports on which to place your art.  The artists use a variety of methods for display such as panels, lattice, easels, etc  see our photos for ideas....

Worried about what to do about a booth for the show...see .Booth Samples here.

Where can I find ... ?

Gazebos are available at any store that sells outdoor equipment.  Most of the participants have purchased their gazebos at Costco in Naniamo.  There is a large variety of gazebos so the prices range from approximately $150.00 to $500.00 plus.

Is there a concession stand ... ?

Yes, we do have a local fund-raising group that supplies a concessions stand, usually with drinks and food for the Summer Show but not for the Christmas Show.

Is there any seating... ?

Seating for the concession stand is available; but seating for your booths is supplied by the artists themselves.

Is my work safe overnight ... ?

On site security will be provided by a professional security company from 5 pm Saturday evening to 7 pm Sunday morning. Participating artists, at their own discretion, may leave their work in their display area. Please note that the Show cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur due to weather or any other uncontrollable circumstances. Artists wishing to protect themselves from these kinds of circumstances should consider insuring themselves through their own insurance company.

Do you have any tips ... ?

  • make sure that you have some open flow through area.  Clients hesitate to enter closed areas.

  • plan your display ahead of time and practice setting it up so you don't have any surprises when you set up at the site.

  • have some back up equipment in case or rain - tarp etc.

Do you have to have a website ... ?

You can have your pics on the site as soon as you register and send me some pictures.  You don't need to have a website.  I am asking for 4.  They can be sent via email or just send them as photos in the mail when you register.  I have a scanner so I can scan them for you.
