Call to Artists: Christmas Arts Fair in Darlington



The City of Darlington presents a Christmas Arts Fair at the Darlington YMCA Dec. 12-14 to create economic activity downtown and to fulfill residents’ shopping needs during the holiday season. The event will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday in the YMCA gym.
The Christmas Arts Fair is open to all artists, craftsmen, and sculptors with original work, but you must apply by 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 16, to participate as there is limited space available.
Artists will need to complete an application and include a color photo of the type of work they wish to sell in the fair. Electronic applications and jpegs are accepted.
Artists will have an 8-foot by 8-foot space in the gymnasium and will be required to provide their own tables, chairs, and table coverings. Only works by approved artists can be sold in the prepaid booth space. Stock boxes must be kept out of sight during the event, and artists cannot tear down their space until the show is over Saturday afternoon.
Selected artists will be notified by Oct. 30.
The cost for a space is $25 for the three-day event, and payment must be made by accepted applicants by Nov. 7. Do not send payment until you are notified of your inclusion in the Christmas Arts Fair.
For applications or information, call Planning Director Lisa Chalian-Rock at 843-398-4000 ext. 103 or email her at  darlingtonplanner@gmail.com.
