PLEASE READ CAREFULLY – NEW FESTIVAL POLICIES 

  1. Maintaining the integrity of our AAOS mission requires us to favor booths restricted to art or crafts.  Our goal is to elevate both quality and quantity of exhibitors offering art and crafts. This will, in turn, funnel more qualified prospects directly to you and your art or craft. And that will help you raise your prices faster in the future.

  2. You must submit a photo of all types of products that will be available at your booth. â€‹(Email to artsandcraftsaaos@gmail.com)

  3. We are NOT jurying the quality of entrants works but we are assessing the type of products you plan to show.

  4. We reserve the right to limit booths of any given type so that we can have a balanced show.
