The artist understands that the ELAF does not carry insurance to cover loss of or damage to artwork and/or personal property. As independent contractors, each exhibiting artist is advised to obtain their own insurance.

 

Further, the artist agrees to abide by the rules of participation as listed in this application, and all policies and guidelines developed by the ELAF Board of Directors. The artist understands that failure to follow these rules can mean expulsion from this year's festival and/or future festivals.

Exhibiting artists must take into account festival weekend weather conditions and make arrangements to protect their artwork and weight their booth tent against strong winds, (ELAF cannot provide tent weights). The ELAF is a rain or shine festival. In the event of severe weather the ELAF Board of Directors will monitor weather service reports and will alert exhibitors and patrons in the event of festival cancellation, and evacuation if necessary.

 

Participating artist exhibitors give permission to the ELAF to use their image and images of their work in the promotion of the ELAF.
