Outsider Art Show

Saturday 10AM - 5PM

This event is primarily rooted in Southern Folk Art, and that will continue as our central theme, but we also see the entire event as a piece of folk art, and we love variety, so welcome artists of all flavors, dealers of oddities and/or interesting junk, experimental commerce, etc.

In addition, we ask that Artist  donate a piece of art (make it hurt a little), or whatever items/products you are selling, to the traditional Friday Night Auction Truck.

If you are interested in exhibiting or vending.......

$50 Vending fee. Camping areas will be designated for vendors and performers.  We will have parking out in orchard near front driveway.

SET-UP.......after you make the right turn off the paved drive onto the dirt road leading toward the kitchen, vendor spots will be marked off with sticks with your number and name on them. You may also elect to create a selling structure on a given spot and have that be your "permanent" spot for events to come.....the main "public" selling day is on Saturday, but we encourage you to set up on thurs or fri to alleviate a saturday morning rush, take advantage of early sales and trades to villagers, and to help decorate and flesh out the village as early as possible.
