This year’s Arlington Arts & Crafts Show will take place on

22nd and 23rd June. Applications are open to all. There is

no formal selection process for those exhibiting work - if

you think it is worthy to sell that’s good enough for us. All of

our previous shows have had a great selection of work from

amateurs and professionals at a wide range of prices. We are

keen to encourage newly exhibiting artists. One requirement is

that artists do not show work which has already been shown

at a previous Arlington Art Show. We choose which crafts to

accept in order to ensure a good variety of stalls. Obviously

appearance is important so we expect all art work to be

displayed well and all stalls to be smart and tidy. Please insure

your own work.

Pitches in the Marquee.

We will have approximately 6ft x 6ft pitches available outside or

in a large canvas marquee, in the field next to Arlington Village

Hall for crafts, groups of artists, authors and for sideshows.

Stalls must be manned at all times - you need to provide your

own tables which must be covered with cloth to the floor, no

items should be placed outside of the pitch area and a high

standard of work and stall appearance will be expected. Pitches

may be shared between several people. Setting up will be from

8.30 am on Saturday 22nd June and from 9.30 am on Sunday

23rd June. Stalls must not be packed up until the close of the

event each day. Pitches must be vacated by 6.30 pm on Sunday.

Any items left over night are left entirely at your own risk.

Screens in the hall.

Artists will be able to hang their own work on screens in

Arlington Village Hall. Each screen side has a hanging space of at

least 44 x 44” (110 x 110cm) and artists may book either whole

or half screen sides (split horizontally) up to 2.5 sides per artist.

The art show will open at 10.30am on Friday 21st June.

We will provide hooks, artists must hang their own work

between 7 and 9pm on Thursday 20th June - there must be at

least 2” (5cm) between pictures and no pictures must be hung

over the edges of the screens. Please take this into account

when deciding how many screens to book. Pictures incorrectly

hung will be removed by the organisers. All pictures must be

framed (except in the case of canvases) and ready to hang. A

few paintings on canvas larger than 44 x 44” may be hung on

wall space by prior arrangement.

On arrival on 20th June you will be asked to complete a

catalogue sheet with full details of the pictures you are

exhibiting and any other items you are leaving with us.

Exhibiting artists may leave boxes of up to 50 their own

cards (prints of or original work by the artist only) and up to

4 unframed works for the browser (@ £1 each) - all items

individually wrapped and priced please. We will provide you

with peel-off labels to stick on the back of all the cards you

leave with us. All artists exhibiting in the hall will be asked to

steward.
