Festival Rules for Ketchum Arts Festival 2012
1. TENTS MUST BE WEIGHTED OR STAKED TO WITHSTAND 60 MPH WINDS.
2. You may not sell your work outside of your assigned booth space and the area within a
couple of feet of it. Please do not infringe on your neighbors' spaces. Artists whose booths
face Sun Valley Rd. may display large scale artworks between their booths and the road at the
discretion of the KAF board.
3. Umbrellas are permitted, but the need to be weighted to withstand 60 mph winds and set up
touching your booth. We have designed wide aisles, but all aisles must be kept clear for fire
truck easement.
CANTILEVERED UMBRELLAS INTERFERE WITH FIRE CODES AND
ARE NOT PERMITTED.
4. No roaming vendors.
5. Please keep music (radios, instruments you play, etc.) at a low volume out of consideration
for other artists and patrons.
6. Due to customer complaints about artists' dogs, we prefer you do not bring your dog to the
Festival. If you do, your dog must be on a short leash and tied up (when not being walked)
according to the City of Sun Valley law, and you will be responsible for any damage or injuries it
may cause. If a scuffle occurs, you will be asked to remove your dog from the Festival site.
Here is an eloquent comment from a 2010 artist about a dog problem at that Festival.
When there was a dog scuffle in our aisle, people ran for cover and would not stay to
browse or shop. I love dogs, and love how they are integrated into the community, but art
shows are not the place for dogs.
It is not fair to all of us artists who have invested so much time and expense into our
products, and it is not fair to all the dogs. There is no way all of them can stay well behaved at
all times.
7. Please refrain from smoking on Festival grounds.
8. The Board of Directors of the Ketchum Arts Festival reserves the right to ask artists to move,
modify or remove items that we deem inappropriate or dangerous.
9. We rent chairs for the food area. THESE CHAIRS ARE NOT FOR USE IN YOUR TENT
DURING THE FESTIVAL. Bring your own chair.
10. Generators are not permitted.
11. At breakdown, City of Sun Valley taxes must be paid.
12. For breakdown, vehicles are permitted onto the field for loading only. No parking. No
stopping to chat. Load up, and drive off the field.
