Information for Art & Craft Show
                            Potential Exhibitors

The Captal City Art & Craft Show is an "invitation only" show.  Not all vendors or crafters who apply will be invited to participate in the show.  We select participants based only on the quality of their crafts, sales potential and the variety they provide to the show.  We do not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, sex, religion, age or any other personal basis.  Participation in a prior year's show does not guarantee an invitation to the following year's show.

To be considered for an invitation to participate in the annual Capital City Art & Craft Show, please send the following information to:
