TACA SPRING FAIR - CHAPTER BOOTH

Exhibitor Eligibility:

Exhibitors in the Chapter Booths must be TACA members, who are not juried exhibitors in the Spring Craft Fair. Chapters, in consultation with the Fair Director, will determine the policy for handling inclusion of work by group membership in their region.

All work exhibited must meet the following criteria:

  1. Crafts only, traditional or contemporary, in the usual craft media: wood, clay, fiber, textiles, glass, metals, jewelry, mixed media. Photography and printmaking are acceptable, however, only prints and photos fully produced by the artist may be exhibited. Photographs should exhibit an original and artistic approach.
  2. All work must be original and made by the exhibitor. Work should show imagination and the mark of individuality and should represent the "best effort" of the individual artist. Any commercial embellishments must be subordinate to the handcrafted work.
  3. All work exhibited must be available for sale. Displays of work not intended for sale, but for purposes of receiving orders for work to be delivered in a later date will not be permitted.
Not eligible are:
  1. Photographs or prints not fully executed by the artist.
