Call for Artisans
The Arts Council of Princeton’s Sauce for the Goose Outdoor Art Market is back, now celebrating its 28th year of connecting shoppers with incredibly talented area artists and makers. The sale returns to the Princeton Shopping Center’s courtyard to kick off holiday shopping on Saturday, November 13. The Arts Council is seeking artisans and crafters working in ceramics, textiles, jewelry, wood, fine art, and more. The application deadline is Wednesday, September 15.
The rain date for the event is November 14. By applying, artists agree to attend the rain date in the event of inclement weather. The sale runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Artists are responsible for staffing their booth for the entirety of the sale.
Artists will be assigned 10’ x 10’ spaces and are responsible for their own display, including providing your own table, tent (if desired), display stands, racks for cards, jewelry, etc. Artists must provide bags and/or wrapping materials.
Free parking is available at the Princeton Shopping Center. Artists may bring a cart to assist in unloading from parking area to paved paths of courtyard.
It is the artists’ responsibility to have a change fund to handle cash sales and a mobile device to accept credit cards. Free public WiFi will be available, but we ask that artists come prepared with a back-up plan for processing payments.
Artists are expected to conduct themselves in a professional and courteous manner for the duration of the sale. At no time will any form of “hard sell” tactics be tolerated. At no time may an artist’s display encroach on an adjacent artist’s area or protrude beyond the confines of the allotted 10’ x 10’ space.
All displays and unsold work must be loaded out by Saturday, November 13, at 6 p.m.
The fee to participate in the Sauce for the Goose Outdoor Art Market is $160, with a non-refundable application fee of $25.
