Why does it cost money to show at the festival?

The festival is organized by the Canby Arts Association, a 501c3 non profit organization.  An event of this size is costly and while we do our best to secure sponsorship and grants there is still a minimal fee required to help cover costs.  We do our best to keep these costs as low as possible for our artists and authors.

 

Do I have to supply my own tent and tables?  

Artists and Authors are responsible for their own 10x10 tents and displays.
