There is NO ENTRY FEE for displaying artists. The Restorer's would look for a percentage of daily sales (or orders taken) AFTER the artist's minimum sales is met.  This is the first time we are holding this type of event, but we are approaching it mindfully so that our panel of 25 artists will relish the opportunity to return to this same venue in years to come. St. Ignatius Chapel Hill is beautiful and inspiring. Come and enjoy great weather and good company! Thanks for mentioning this Call for Artisans to a Friend!
