Consistent with what we communicated to the artist community last summer/fall, all artists who are interested in partaking in this year's Fair (including those that were juried in last year) will need to apply through ZAPP and pay the ZAPP application fee (if you recall, last year we refunded (at Penrod's expense) all application fees in full). If you are an artist that was juried in last year, after you apply through ZAPP and pay the ZAPP application fee you will be automatically juried in for the 2024 Fair (and then you will pay your booth fee in accordance with the timeline below).
