Jury process and guidelines
1) All craft items for sale must be accepted by the Market Jury Committee prior to selling at the Market. New items introduced by an existing vendor outside of their normal product lines will need to be approved, in advance, by the Jury Committee, prior to being displayed and sold at the Market. Items brought to the Market for sale will be subject to further inspection by the Jury Committee, to insure that the product meets the standards approved by the Jury Committee. Products found that do not meet Jury Committee standards must be removed from the vendor’s booth immediately.
2) Criteria for jurying include over-all quality of hand-made crafts. Products must be safe, have a reasonable life expectancy, and should be an asset to the Market aesthetically.
3) No purchased raw materials or commercially prepared products may be sold, unless at least 50% transformed by handcrafting to create original quality work by the vendor. Craft items made from kits, reproductions of artwork not created by the vendor, and commercially manufactured clothing, unless substantially altered and enhanced by the vendor, will not be allowed.
4) Craft items will be judged for quality of workmanship, emphasis on natural materials, and artistic and aesthetic qualities. The starting material must be significantly altered and enhanced by the vendor, and the finished product should artistically dominate any commercial components used in the product.
5) Craft items that involve the consolidation of two or more commercial products without any artistic or creative input from the vendor do not qualify.
Vendor Inspections:
To assure that all products sold at the Market are vendor produced as required in the guidelines, an inspection of the vendor’s facilities may occur. Jury Committee Inspector(s) will note production capabilities of the facilities visited and if a discrepancy is apparent, the Jury Committee may deny the vendor access to the Market. The Jury Committee must respond to written appeals within 30 days of their receipt. Vendors will be contacted 24 hours in advance of the inspection. Vendors agree to allow photographs of their operation to be taken by the Inspector. The Inspector is also authorized to request receipts and/or invoices to support vendor’s production claims. If the Inspector cannot verify that a vendor produces his or her own product, membership may be suspended and/or denied. Inspection results may be shared with other Market
