Before the event:

Art Center East will provide artisans with digital marketing materials to promote the pop-up event. It’s strongly encouraged that artisans contribute in marketing their participation leading up to the event. ACE may tag artisan social media pages in social marketing posts.

Set-up & during the event:

Pop-ups will be provided one 6ft table with a tablecloth in place and two chairs. No other tables will be allowed. Table-top displays must be provided by the artisan. Electricity and wifi provided.

Pop-ups on Fridays will be required to set up at 5:30 pm. Staff will be in attendance to facilitate building access.

Pop-ups on Saturdays will be required to set up at 9:30 am. Staff will be in attendance to facilitate building access. 

You must accept all of your own payments. Plan to bring sufficient small bills for making change, as banks are closed during Friday & Saturday pop-up events. Free wifi is available to run card swiping apps on your phone or tablet. ACE will not run card payments for you.

Artisans must be present throughout the duration of the pop-up event. This includes those who sell out of their inventory – even if this happens, they must be present until take-down. 

Take-down:

Pop-up participants must stay the duration of the pop-up times listed. All items must be removed the day of the event, no items may be left on-premises. ACE staff may allow overnight storage of items if artisan signs up for consecutive Friday & Saturday pop-up events. 

For grant reporting and in order for any improvements, Art Center East asks all artisans to complete a POP-UP ARTISAN SURVEY at the conclusion of the event. Please leave your survey at the GIFT GALLERY DESK before leaving. 

Upon space inspection after take-down, if property damage is found, the artisan may be invoiced for costs related to repair.
