Annual Winter Market Artist FAQs

What kinds of artworks can I sell? 

We encourage artists to submit a variety of original works of different styles and mediums. This includes, but is not limited to, paintings, mixed-media, ceramics, glass, wood, mosaic, jewelry, photography, and textiles. 

How many works should I have on display? 

This depends on the size of the work. Artists may display as many works as they wish within their designated table/wall space. For works that will be hung on the wall, we can display up to 4-6 works at a time. *Please note that you can switch out/rotate pieces throughout the duration of the market. 

How should I display my work? 

Artists can display their items in any way they wish within their designated wall/table space. We encourage artists selling items that can be hung to bring free-standing displays/racks. *See photos below to see the layout for previous markets. 

How much space is each artist allocated? 

Each artist will receive approximately 3’ x 3’ of table space and/or wall space to share with others. Artists may display as many works as they wish within their designated space. However, the WCFA staff reserve the right to curate the display of artworks. 

Do I need to oversee my work during market hours?

Artists are not required to staff tables. WCFA will provide the staff to process sales and restock tables as needed. However, artists assume all responsibility for inventory and placing (removable) stickers with their artists ID and pricing on every piece of artwork prior to drop off. Artists are also encouraged to join us during open hours to meet visitors. 

How should I price my items?

Winter Market works fall under a wide range of price points. Artists may price their works as they see fit, though, we recommend keeping prices between $20-$300 per piece. 

How are sales managed? 

WCFA staff will manage and track sales but not inventory specifics (ie. titles of items). We will be using the price tags that you put on each item to track sales so it is very important that you label each item appropriately with your artist code and price. Artists will receive their code in an email from WCFA. Codes are the first letter of the artist’s last name and the first two letters of their last name. 

When will I get paid for items sold? 

At the close of the Winter Market, WCFA staff will do their best to calculate total sales and artist commissions before the end of the year. You will be sent an email notifying you of the amount you can expect, and a check will be mailed within 30 days.
