Space Sharing Policy:

Applicants in the Artisan and Vintage category may opt to share 10’x10′ of floor space with one other individual exhibitor in this category. This will guarantee that the two artisans are placed in the same 10’x10′ area. The shared 10’x10′ space fee is $489 ($339 regular 10’x10′ space fee plus an additional fee of $150 to share). Both artisans interested in sharing 10’x10′ of designated floor space must apply separately and both artisans must be accepted in order to share a space at the 13th Annual Craft Lake City DIY Festival Presented By Harmons. On the application, both artisans must state with whom they would like to share. Sharing a 5’x10′ space is not allowed—this option is available for only 10’x10′ spaces.

Collectives must sell products under a single tax ID number, and all artist members must be located in Utah. Please note that accepted collectives receive the same number of participation badges and tickets as single vendors (2 exhibitor badges and 4 single day passes for 2-day vendors or 6 single day passes for 3-day vendors). Collective 5’x10′ spaces are not allowed—this option is available for only 10’x10′ spaces.

About Electricity:

Due to the limited availability of electricity at the venue, it is difficult to accommodate a high volume of power users. Craft Lake City does careful planning and testing to ensure we meet the needs of those who have requested and paid for electricity. As such, electrical access is priced to reflect its scarcity. Craft Lake City is also working towards becoming a zero waste event by using sustainable, low-energy initiatives, and encourages its exhibitors to utilize solar energy sources and LEDs to power their spaces.

Unauthorized use of electricity puts other exhibitors at risk as it may cause outages. Participants who have knowingly not disclosed power needs prior to the event and are found to be using power may be asked to provide immediate, on-the-spot payment for power use.

About Special Placement:

The exhibitor has the opportunity to discuss and select their placement on the festival grounds with festival staff and production members. Special placement requests are filled to the best of our abilities with due consideration of adhering to safety code and Utah State Fairpark rules. Craft Lake City reserves the right to make alterations and amends based on circumstance. Craft Lake City secures special placement requests according to the order in which payment of the special placement fee is received (in other words, first come, first serve). Special placement availability is limited, and therefore a $300 fee is required.

Artisan Scholarship & Mentor Program

Each year Craft Lake City selects five eligible first-time DIY Festival artisans to participate in the Artisan Scholarship and Mentor Program, which provides waived participation fees, professional development training, networking opportunities and group mentorship with seasoned creative business owners. The Craft Lake City team is modifying the format of this program for our festival in 2021.For eligibility guidelines and more information, please visit our DIY Festival Artisan Scholarship and Mentor Program page.

Sales & Shipping:

Participating makers will manage the final sales of their products in their own online stores, and will oversee the shipping of their items in a timely manner.

Sales & Tax Information:

The Utah State Tax Commission will provide you with a required sales tax form to complete after the DIY Festival. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to pay the appropriate taxes from sales at the end of the event.

Exhibitor Responsibilities & Safety:

By applying and accepting Craft Lake City’s invitation, all exhibitors and participants agree to comply with Craft Lake City, Annual Craft Lake City DIY Festival and venue rules and regulations.

The exhibitor assumes all responsibility for safeguarding of their products and their displays at the 13th Annual Craft Lake City DIY Festival Presented By Harmons on Fri., Aug. 13, Sat., Aug. 14 and Sun., Aug. 15, 2021.

Craft Lake City has the right to close or modify the Annual Craft Lake City DIY Festival if any circumstances affect the safety of the event attendees or vendors.

By participating, the exhibitor understands that abuse of any kind is not welcome. Any individual who displays negative, crude, crass, belligerent or any other non-exemplary behavior that causes discomfort towards any person present at the Festival will be asked to leave. Craft Lake City reserves the right to determine what behaviors are deemed inappropriate and non-characteristic of Craft Lake City standards.

Fees vary depending on participation.
Small Commercial Food Vendor: Small commercial food vendors prepare food typically intended to be consumed on site at in-person events.

Food trucks could qualify for this category.
Large Commercial Food Vendor: As a large commercial vendor you are a recognized and established name in the Utah food scene. Whether it is a small fleet of food trucks or brick-and-mortar locations, you prepare food that is typically meant to be eaten on site at in-person events. Food trucks could qualify for this category.
