All visual artists must be self sufficient.

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 representative will check to ensure everything is running smoothly, but you are responsible for managing your area. Please set up efficiently, and ensure a clean teardown, leaving no mess behind.

Selling your work and accepting payment:

We believe visual artists add value to the experience of our events. As a trade-off, visual artist may sell their work. We would appreciate participating visual artists to actively perform their craft and engage with the audience in exchange for the ability to sell their work.
 

Any for-sale items must fit within a 6ft x 6ft space. If your set up is impeding standing room for guests or obstructing view of the stage, we may ask you to scale down or tear down. Items for sale must be original art made by the artist. Artists may not sell items made or produced outside of their original work. (Prints and reproductions of the artists original work is, of course, accepted.)

Acceptable work tools:
• Easel

• Print rack

• Small table - Please do not set up a table larger than 4x2 ft.
• Storage container and/or tool box
• Paints, canvas, brushes, etc. Please, NO spray paint or aerosol spray cans of any kind.
• Controlled light source for your canvas. Do not blast the audience with your lights.

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?

Any art form that can be performed and executed within a small footprint is accepted. The artist must 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 about your work. 
 

Misconduct and mismanaged spaces will result in eviction.

We are committed to supporting artists. However, we ask that all artists conduct themselves respectfully and professionally. Any misconduct will result in event eviction and the artist 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. 

​​

Examples of misconduct and mismanaged spaces that merit event eviction:
• Disorderly conduct by artist and/or assistants.
• 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. Do not exceed a 6x6 ft space unless otherwise approved to do so. 
• Not actively performing or engaging audience. Artist's are not allowed to just sit and sell items. 

• 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.
