FOR ARTISTS

Set-up and Parking for Participants in Scene A, B, C, D, and Fine Arts Showcase

​

1. Artists are responsible for their own 10x10 tent (can be any color), tables, chairs and tent weights (tent weights are mandatory for public safety; no staking is permitted.)

2. Artists are responsible for bringing any additional help they may need for the event for set-up/tear-down, and manning their booth

3. Enter from the east side of the Art Beat campus at one of the following two entry points: Jefferson & Hill or St. Louis & Wayne. These closures will have half the road open for cars to enter. The other closures will either be for exit only or will be blocked off entirely. See map for more details. Artists in Scene C and D are advised to enter at St. Louis & Wayne, while all other artists are advised to enter at Hill & Jefferson.

4.  Follow the one-way flow of traffic west and/or north to drive to your booth.

5. We recommend you scope out your booth location in advance of event day to better familiarize yourself with where you're going. Booths numbers are marked on the top of the curbs in 10 foot increments with a 5 foot gap between booths.

6. Participants who purchased multiple booths will have an extra 5 feet to use for each extra booth purchased.

7. Set up your booth in the street, facing the center of the street, with the sidewalk behind you. You may set up your booth a foot away from the curb and store extra supplies between the curb and your booth.

8. Artists are permitted to use up to 6 inches on the exterior sides of their tent for display and up to 1 foot in front of their tent for display.

9. Even booths are located on the north and east sides of the streets. Odd booths are located on the south and west sides of the street. 

10. Set-up times for even-numbered booths is 8:00 a.m., for odd-numbered booths is 9:00 a.m, but if you need extra time to get set up, you can come as early as 7:00 a.m. Arrival deadline is 9:30 a.m. and all vehicles must be out of the Art Beat layout by 10:00 a.m. The barricades will be put in place at this time.

11. Important - park your car TEMPORARILY in your spot to unload your items on the sidewalk by your booth, then park your car (or have your booth buddy park your car - strongly recommended), then set-up. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAR BLOCKING THE PATH WHILE YOU SET UP YOUR BOOTH!  Be kind to your neighbors!

12. Free parking is located in various points but the most convenient parking location will be in the Crowe lot, which will need to be accessed via Western as booths will be blocking the entrance off Jefferson (see map for route.)

​

Tear-down

​

1. Early tear-down is not permitted and no vehicles will be allowed to enter the Art Beat campus until 7:30 p.m. for pedestrian safety. Barricades will be removed at this time.

2. Pack up your items and tear down your tent BEFORE retrieving your vehicle. Put your items on the sidewalk behind your booth location.

3. Retrieve your car using the same entry points and one-way traffic flow as during set-up, park in your booth spot, and load up.

4. Pat yourself on the back for being a part of Art Beat 2024 and look back fondly on your day and the new customers and friends you made!

NOTE -set-up and tear-down are different for vendors at KID BEAT! and culinary vendors. They will be emailed their instructions.
