commercial items is absolutely prohibited. This will
be strictly enforced in 2011.

Each artist is required to provide a standard white
10'x10' artist's tent. Spaces of approximately
12'x12' will be provided for each tent. All spaces
are on streets and tents must be secured by weights

artwork must be within or hanging from the tent.d
