How did you learn about MAC FAIR? *

Hand made by YOU? Please note that we will ONLY consider those who make their OWN items. Don't even think about trying to pull the wool over our eyes. The public is coming to these shows to see handmade goods, not imports with the tags taken off. *

Yes, handmade by me. No. I guess this isn't the event for me.

In the past year, what other Craft Fairs have you participated in? *

What Craft Fairs do you plan/hope to participate in between now and the next MAC FAIR? *

Tell us about your craft, yourself and why you'd be a great addition to MAC FAIR, including such details as what inspires you, what makes your craft unique & how you describe your style. *

What is the average price range of your items? *

Collaborative Marketing: "As an Exhibitor I pledge to help promote and endorse MAC FAIR in any way I can. I know that if all participants do this, we can create a successful event for everyone, and that is something I want to be a part of." *

I agree. I do not agree.

In light of the above, how, specifically, are you able to help spread the word about MAC FAIR? *

About a month before the event, we send out a package to our artisans, with passes and posters. Please indicate AT LEAST FIVE SPECIFIC (INDOOR) locations where you could put up posters, and how many you require. *

I understand that this is a juried event, and as explained in the Artisan Selection Process section on the website, the jurying process involves many factors, including the need to balance out the show and keep things fresh. As such, I understand that both mathematically and logistically speaking, having been in the event in the past cannot not guarantee a spot in the future. Artisans go through the jurying process each year. It also means that the jury has to make difficult decisions and turn down quality artisans. The jurying process is a long one and the jury considers hundreds of applications. While we do provide the courtesy of an email to those who are not successful, we simply cannot provide details about why an artisan was not selected to participate in the event.. *

Got it. Maybe this isn't the event for me.

I understand that any photos and logos I submit as a part of the application process may be used on promotional materials for the show.

I understand that I am legally liable for any negative consequences resulting from the purchase or consumption of my products. I understand and agree that producers of MAC FAIR are not legally liable for any merchandise, behaviour or equipment and therefore cannot be held responsible for any injury, death or negative consequence as a result of a vendor's participation in the show.

CRAFT FAIR AGREEMENT: It is understood that by completing this online application form, you have read and agree to the following: Vendor Criteria: We pride ourselves on presenting a wide variety of local unusual, original, quality hand-made crafts. Interested artists are invited to fill out an application and submit to this juried show. A selection committee will look over your photos and will then make their choice based on originality, creativity, marketability, general appeal, and quality of craft as well as ensuring a balance of categories of crafts. While we do send out an email as a courtesy to unsuccessful candidates, we receive many, many application and cannot get into details of why they were not accepted. A committee will look over your application and photos and final decisions will be made by the end of May for our Christmas event. Emails to successful and unsuccessful candidates once jurying has been completed. Causes: This craft fair is a social justice and a fundraising endeavour on the part of Immaculata. We raise funds for various groups and projects that assist those who have so much less. Our main school philanthropy projects will benefit from MAC FAIR each year, with money going towards our Christmas Hamper Program, which provides nutritious food to hungry families within our school community. as well as DREAM (Dominican Republic Experience at MAC) Team fundraising - our social justice experience program. Money raised goes to initiatives spearheaded by the Grey Sisters in and around the town of Consuelo, Dominican Republic. In addition, there will be several school groups, teams and clubs who will work together to promote and help out at MAC FAIR to raise money for their groups. These will change from event to event, but typically include School Council, Athletic Council and several other school and social justice groups. The Tables: 6 foot tables with two chairs for $65 if you donate a prize to the raffle table (Retail value of $20), or $75 if you do not. If you do not wish the table, we still charge the same amount for the space. There is about 2 feet between tables. Electrical Outlets: Please note that power outlets are very limited. You may request it if absolutely necessary but we may not be able to accommodate everyone. You will need to provide your own extension cord. Arrival: All Crafters are expected to arrive between 8:15 am and 9:00 am, depending on the time you need to set up. Please do not arrive after 9:00 am as you need to register, set up, locate washrooms,drop off your Raffle Prize at the table, etc. All Crafters are expected to have their tables set up by 9:30, at which time all artisans will meet in front off the stage for a short meeting. After this this is the vendor shopping spree time. Your first coffee is on us and we plan to have it ready to do for 9:30. We are working toward our Eco-School certification, so please bring your own mug to help us cut down our use of disposables. Unloading Vehicles: We will have teams of students who will unload your vehicle for you and bring your items to your table. •Upon your arrival we would ask that you drive down onto the track and wait until the cars in front of you have been unloaded. The wait is quite short as we've worked out an efficient system, so please just wait patiently in your car and we'll get to you as soon as we can. •Once your vehicle is unloaded, you will then drive around the track and park on the outer edge of the track. We want to keep as many spaces as possible available for customers. Arrival at Table: When you get to your table, you will see that there is a number on it. Please keep this visible throughout the day so that we can find you easily. Your survey sheet will also be at your table. During the sale : Please note that bulletin boards, extension cords, tablecloths, etc... are not provided. Vendors must NOT infringe on another vendor’s space. There will be two student volunteers in bright yellow shirts serving as Vendor Relief. Their job will be to circulate around the rooms and supervise your table for you if you need to grab a coffee, take a bathroom break, or do some shopping. Don't be shy to ask! Departure: Out of courtesy to customers and your fellow Crafters, all Crafters are expected to maintain their table(s) for the duration of the Craft Fair and not to pack up their goods or leave prior to 3:00 p.m. Our student volunteers will be available to help you bring items back out to your vehicle. *

"I have read, understood and agree to abide by the Craft Fair Agreement." "I do not agree."

This program, for whatever reason, does not consistently take you to the confirmation of receipt message page, even though I have set it up to do so. In speaking with tech support, they think it happens when people are not using an updated version to access the internet. During the month leading up to the application due date, I will send out emails every few days to those whose applications I have received. If you have not heard from me within, say, 5 days, email macfaircrafts@gmail.com to ensure that it was not lost in the interweeb. *
