When will I know if I am accepted?
We will contact you via e-mail and release the list of artists and vendors on May 18, 2012.
What does it mean that the festival is juried? How do you make your decisions?
Because we receive many more applications than we can accept, and to keep the items offered at the festival of high quality, the festival is juried. We review everyone’s complete application and then make our choice based on several factors:
* How your items fit in with our vision of CraftLakeCity.
* The quality, innovation and uniqueness of your wares.
* The overall cohesiveness and consistency of your work.
* How your items are represented in your photos/website.
* Our need to diversify the crafts available at CLC.
* Affordable price-points that will appeal to festival attendees.

What if I have to cancel once I'm accepted?
Any cancellations will need to be received by Wednesday, June 22, 2012. Once you cancel after this date, you forfeit your fee and spot in the fair and you are not permitted to sell or trade your space. We have a long waiting list and reserve the right to fill spots as we see fit.
If accepted, what does my booth fee cover?
* If you chose the 6’ table area, your fee includes a 6’ table that will be set up and waiting for you upon your arrival. CLC recommends bringing your own shade umbrella. * Chairs may be rented and reserved for you at an additional cost.
* If you chose the 10 x 10 booth, your fee includes a 10 x 10 tent covering. * A 6’ table and chairs may be rented and reserved for you at an additional cost. * Artists will also receive an updatable profile with their own username, password and url on our website through 2013.
* Promotional and media opportunities may also be available for select artists.
It’s only one day, do I need to worry about taxes?
Yes, you are responsible for registering your small business with the IRS and collecting sales tax for the items you’re selling. When tax time comes around, you’ll have to pay income tax on all the items you sold and pay the sales tax to the state of Utah.
CraftLakeCity volunteers will provide you with a tax packet the day of the festival when you check-in. However, it is YOUR responsibility to make sure you fill out and mail in the correct sales tax forms to the State and IRS.
We recommend that you call the Utah State Tax Commision with any questions:
