Artists may bring in their art anytime after 1:00PM and must be completely set up by 5:30PM and at that time the Art Show Coordinator will assign you an area.
Artists will be responsible to hang their own works. If you require help, let the Art Show Coordinator know and someone will be assigned to help you.
