Flying Monkey Arts Center Artist Market Guidelines & Information for Visiting Artists

Thank you for being a part of The Flying Monkey Arts Center Saturday Markets from 12 noon to 4 PM. Your participation in the Artist Market matters! Here’s information you may find helpful.

* Sign in when you arrive on the sign-up sheet on the first table by the double doors on the loading dock. Occasionally there will not be a sign-in sheet and you’ll be brought up in order of arrival. Do not break line.

* The FlyMo does not charge for set up space at this time. We’ll let you know in advance if that ever changes.

* Check in with Cheryl in Karma Rags BEFORE you set up. Available space changes from week to week.

* Set up is free but please strongly consider donating a share of your profits to The FlyMo. Cheryl or Anna Sue can take donations.

* Visiting artists are responsible for their own taxes and licensing.

* Artists may only show their own work. No flea market or yard sale items, and absolutely no food items for sale.

* Attention Jewelry makers! Artist market only permits 5 jewelry assemblage artists and 5 fine art jewelers per Saturday. Jewelry assemblage art is defined as jewelry that is comprised of pre-made purchased components that are then assembled. Fine art jewelers are those who create, through process, all or a portion of their components before assemblage. We are sorry if you are inconvenienced, it’s not personal.

* Load-in begins at 11 AM on Saturdays on a first come/first serve basis. This is a strict load-in time. Artists must arrive, load-in, and set up BEFORE the artist market begins at 12 noon. Late set-ups are not permitted because your Flying Monkey hosts [who are volunteers] have their own spaces to attend to once the market begins.

* Visiting artists may not begin load out until EXACTLY 4 PM. The elevator operator is not permitted to load out anyone or bring up carts before 4 PM unless they have prior approval from Cheryl. There are always latecomers and we want them to enjoy the full benefits of our market, including seeing your art. Load-outs should be completed by 4:30. If you know you can’t stay until 4 then please come on another Saturday when you can.

* The FlyMo has an extremely limited number of tables as well as limited space for panel displays. Please bring a table. Artists with work to hang will need to bring their own display panels. Tell Cheryl if you have upright displays before a space is selected. There are no guarantees made by The FlyMo for display space during the Artist Market.

* Visiting artists may only use one table/space [approximately 6 ft.] to exhibit their work. Two artists with smaller or fewer works may share. Respect your fellow artists by keeping your materials contained to a single space. For more than one table/space make advance arrangements with Cheryl at 256-468-5319. No exceptions.

* Some hallway areas are reserved for renters or long standing visiting artists. Please respect RESERVE signs.

* Visiting artists must park in the outer parking lots. The only exception is if you require designated handicapped parking and have a valid permit.

* Cheryl in Karma Rags can answer most questions and provide some basic supplies, like scissors and tape.

* Please unload on the back dock, then immediately move your vehicle away from the dock before you bring your art upstairs for set-up. Park in one of the outer lots. Blocking the loading dock delays load-ins and load-outs for everyone.

* The old cargo elevator is used for load-in and load-out. Lowe Mill employs an elevator operator for operation of the elevator. Only renters and Lowe Mill/Flying Monkey staff are permitted to operate the elevator.

* Acoustic only performers may busk and sell C.D.’s during the artist markets. Check in with Cheryl or Anna Sue before selecting a space.

* Exhibiting at other FlyMo events is by invitation or jury only. * The FlyMo staff reserves the right to move visiting artists as seen fit.

* The FlyMo does not permit partisan political or religious tabling by visitors. Views expressed by renters are permitted at their rented space.

* Please keep the fire lane clear and uncluttered during load-in, set up, load-out and during the market.

* Please dispose of your trash and recycling, and leave the space you occupied clean.

* If The FlyMo is full we will find a suitable space for you to set up in the building. Please see Cheryl or Anna Sue before setting up.

* All people under 16 must be supervised by a responsible adult AT ALL TIMES during artist markets. Lowe Mill is an old industrial building with potential hazards. You be careful, too.

* Criminal or threatening behaviors are not acceptable and will be reported to the authorities.
