What you need to know and how we take care of our Artists.
Show your Art & Connect with us!
If you are selected by the SFA festival committee, you'll have exclusive access to the event where you can display/sell your artwork, show off your business, hold live art demonstrations, and connect with our enthusiastic artsy community. All Artists will also be eligible to win various awards and prizes given by the festival's official art judges.
General Info
Freedom to Explore the Festival
We want both the public and our artists to enjoy the festival and explore what others have to offer. If you require a break from your booth at any time during the event, we'll have eager volunteer Booth Sitters who can watch your space/work so you can rest your customer service voice, explore fellow artist's booths, enjoy the music, and more. You can sign up for booth sitters at the event information desk or with an event/volunteer coordinator. *Please note: Booth sitters cannot watch your booth for the entirety of the event. Artists are required to run their booth for at least # hours of the event.
Security
​SFA provides 24-hour security for the festival, however, SFA and festival organizers urge artists to be diligent and alert and secure their booths as they would at any other event or festival. Exhibiting at the SFA is at the discretion of the artist and every artist participates at his or her own risk. The SFA, Averitt Center for the Arts and The Market at Visit Statesboro does not insure the personal property of any exhibitor/artist. All exhibitors/artists participate as independent contractors.
More Info
Hospitality Event
Before the festival begins, we will be holding a Meet and Greet event exclusive to event staff, volunteers, vendors, and artists. At this event, you can network with artists and vendors who've come from near and far to participate as well as get familiar with some of our booth sitters, event staff, and the location.
At the conclusion of the festival, we will also be holding an appreciation reception for artists in the Averitt Center for the Arts. Come mingle and share your experiences from the festival while we crank up the music and get our snack on. Special gifts will be given out at this reception event so don't pack up without saying good bye and leaving your card.
Sales & Taxes
​Exhibitors are responsible for overseeing the promotion and sale of their work during festival hours. All proceeds earned from sales belong to the artists. By law, artists must collect sales tax on work sold during SFA. The sales tax in Georgia is 8%. The State of Georgia Department of Revenue will provide tax forms for artists.
