All visual artists MUST be SELF SUFFICIENT!

A designated performance space will be assigned to you based on the parameters of your set up and crowd space. All artists must be self-sufficient. RiversEdge is not responsible for displaying your work or providing signage before or during the event.
 

Electricity is available, but artists must supply their own production gear, including extension cords, lighting, tools, seating, and any other necessary equipment. A RiversEdge Director will assign your space and check in to ensure everything is running smoothly, but you are responsible for managing your area.

Please arrive on time, set up efficiently, and ensure a clean teardown, leaving no mess behind.

Selling your work and accepting payment:

As a participating "performer" you are trading services, actively performing your craft and engaging with the audience in exchange for the ability to sell your work.
 

Any for-sale items must fit within a 4ft x 4ft space. If you're set up is impeding standing room for guests or obstructing view of the stage, we may ask you to scale down or tear down.

Weather and safety:

During inclement weather, all artists are responsible for their own art, equipment, and personal safety. Please stay informed of weather forecasts and take proactive measures to protect yourself and your craft. RiversEdge is not liable for any damage to you, your artwork, equipment, or any items you bring to the event.

What sort of art qualifies?

We love to see live painters and similar art forms that can be executed in a small outdoor space. The artist must demonstrate that they can independently perform their craft and contribute positively to the overall experience. Please, no spray paint or airbrushing. Please, no political, religious, nude, or sexual content. This is a family friendly environment with a mix of different people from different backgrounds who we want to inspire and connect. If you have work that falls in the mentioned realms, you may hand out business cards and direct viewers who want to learn more to your respective platforms.

​

Misconduct and mismanaged spaces will result in eviction.

We are committed to supporting artists and genuinely want you to be a part of our event! However, we ask that you take care in managing your space. If we find that your space is being mismanaged, we will ask you to leave, and you will not be allowed to return to future events as a visual artist. Please note that we have police officers on-site to help enforce this policy. 

​

Merit for Event Eviction

Examples of misconduct and mismanaged spaces that merit event eviction:
• Disorderly conduct by artist and/or associates.
• Causing harm to others.
• Taking up more than approved space and disrupting crowd flow.
• Selling items outside of approved performance space or pre-approved limitations.
• Not actively performing or engaging audience. Artist's are not allowed to just sit and sell items. (Taking reasonable breaks and shifts is fine. If the "work of art" is finished toward the end of the event, then the artist may relax and present the art as finished, just as long as the artist spent a majority of the event engaging the crowd through their craft.)

• Selling items outside of your approved art form. (Example: A painter may not sell food or glow sticks.)
• Using and/or selling drugs or alcohol. 
• Defamation of property. (Example: A painter may not paint the sidewalk or public park property.)

• Defamation or misrepresentation of the RiversEdge brand using social media or any other method.

• Using inappropriate language or hate speech.
• Displaying work that elicits discrimination and/or hate speech. 
• Creating and/or leaving a mess in your performance space. (Example: Your performance space has trash on the ground and your art supplies are on the ground and being stepped on.)
• Displaying pornographic content and/or nudity. This is a family friendly event. Please, no nudity or sexual content. 

• Political and/or religious activism. We ask that you do not use this opportunity as a means to present your political views and activism. This is a space for creativity and imaginative work. We'd like to keep politics and religion separate from our concert series.
