Exhibiting artists are expected to show work that is their own and that does not violate the ownership or copyright of any other artist, whether that artist is part of the Festival or not. It is the responsibility of exhibiting artists to be familiar with prevailing copyright law and create work in accordance with those regulations. Any artist found to be in violation of copyright protection will not be invited back to future festivals. Commercial exhibits, mass-produced items, kits, candles, mold ceramics, shells, mass manufactured strung beads, dough, decoupage, crocheting, knitting, artificial flowers, etc., except one-of-a-kind items made by the artist’s hand, are not eligible to be exhibited.
