Renaissance ArtsFaire 2019 Agreement

 Liability Insurance & Risk Management Requirements:

We recommend each vendor at the Faire have liability insurance for their booth/merchandise.   The DAAC purchases general event liability insurance, however, we encourage you to have your own booth and product liability insurance.  Please have your declaration page on-hand during the event and indicate that you have this insurance at the end of your application.  If you need insurance, you may obtain it online at https://www.actinsurance.com/You must name the Dona Ana Arts Council and the City of Las Cruces as additional insureds

 

HOLD HARMLESS:  The exhibitor agrees to hold harmless the Doña Ana Arts Council (DAAC), and any of its employees, directors, or volunteers from any damage or loss to exhibitor’s property or any personal injury he/she or helpers may sustain during the event.  Arts Council reserves the right to cancel the Renaissance ArtsFaire due to acts of God, weather, or unforeseen events out of the management’s control, in which case Arts Council will not be liable for refunds or other liabilities.  Arts Council may use photographs/videos of the exhibitor taken by Arts Council representatives for publicity purposes. 

 

PUBLICITY:  During the Faire, photographers working for the Doña Ana Arts Council will be photographing or videotaping the event.  By submitting an application, all artists agree to be photographed or videotaped by the Arts Council representatives.  Photos and videos become the sole property of the Arts Council and may be used for publicity purposes, without compensation to any persons in the photos or videos.

 

SECURITY: Overnight security will be provided Friday and Saturday nights.  However, participants exhibit all work at their own risk.  The Arts Council will not be responsible for damage, theft, or loss of any exhibitor’s work, display or decorations during or after exhibition hours. Exhibitors should make arrangements with their own insurance companies for proper coverage.



SALES TAX:   You are responsible for collecting and reporting Sales tax in Las Cruces.  Tax information will be sent to you approximately one month prior to the ArtsFaire.



RESTRICTIONS:  Work displayed must reflect the quality of artwork depicted in application images and an exhibitor may only display work in the accepted category(ies). Do not bring work for which you were not juried.  Faire management reserves the right to remove exhibits that have been falsely entered or that are unsuitable or objectionable.  This includes music, noise, animals, scents, printed materials or anything else that the management finds objectionable.  Refunds will not be given in these cases.



Any artist found to have violated these rules will be required to close their booth until it is brought into compliance.
