Booth Info
What you need to know and how we take care of our Artists.
General Info
Booth Assignment
​SFA and its festival partners are responsible for assigning booths and attempt to accommodate requests for specific booth locations whenever possible. After January 10, 2025, all booth assignments are firm and nonnegotiable. Artists are not allowed to swap booth locations.
Booth Display
-
Artists can decide how they best want to showcase their work; however, the overall booth presentation should be representative of the image provided in the application. Although the indoor venue has a roof, tents/canopies are allowed.
-
The floor in the pavilion is concrete, and all spaces are handicapped accessible. Even though the venue is covered, the sides will be opened with garage style doors. Exhibitors should plan to accommodate rain and some breeze/wind.
-
Artists must furnish their booth display, which includes tables, chairs, contents, etc. Artists need to be certain their booth and its contents easily fit into the area provided and can withstand large crowds and weather. Visit Statesboro, Averitt Center, and SFA are not responsible for damage to artists' booth or work.
Technical info
Booth Set-Up
-
Exhibitors can register and set up between 9 am and 4 pm on Friday, March 21. During registration, artists should be prepared to show a photo ID.
-
SFA does not provide dollies, hand trucks, wagons, or other moving equipment.
-
During set-up, artists may unload from the nearest parking space or from a space that is close to their booths. Driving vehicles into the venue is strictly prohibited. Temporary parking is close to the pavilion, unloading booth equipment and artwork is ideally easy and quick. Please be conscious of other artists' time and space, and if necessary, unload belongings from your vehicle and then move it to a further-away space to allow another artist a close unloading spot.
-
At 6pm, the Artist Reception begins at the Averitt Center for the Arts.
​Booth Breakdown and Load-Out
​Artists can begin breakdown and load-out at 4 pm on Sunday, March 23. All booths must be completely removed from the festival site by 7 pm on Sunday, March 23.
