Exhibitor Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a backdrop?

Backdrops are not required, but they are strongly recommended. Backdrops help define your space, and can increase sales by keeping the customer's focus on your products instead of the booth behind you.

Can I share a booth?
You may split booths, however all products to be sold must be listed on the application. In addition, photographs must be included for each artisan.

Is there space available for.....?
If you would like to check if your category is filled you can call (815) 878-2728 or email info@craftproductionsinc.com before sending your application. Include your name, company, type of craft, phone number and the show you are interested in. Please note that spaces can fill quickly, applications must be sent immediately to hold your space.

Do I need a canopy for outdoor shows?
You must bring a canopy with proper weights for all outdoor shows. Staking is not allowed at any of our current shows.

I am interested in a show but the jury date has passed, are you still accepting applications?
We accept applications until the show is filled. While some categories fill on jury date, others may still have space available.

Will I have the same space as last year?
If you'd like to be in the same space as a previous show you must list your space number on your application.
