Art Vendors

Chuck Fest returns for a full day of the biggest music, art, food, and culture festival in Southwest Louisiana on Saturday, October 14 from noon to midnight! This year, we will be changing up the art vendor application process to a juried selection of 24 vendors picked by our Chuck Fest Committee. Applications close on August 11, and selections will be announced on August 18.

Applicants will be asked to provide answers to the following questions:

• Contact name
• Vendor/Booth Name
• Phone
• Email address
• Mailing address
• What do you sell?
• Brief narrative of you/ your business (this will be featured on social media posts leading up to the event as a “vendor spotlight”)
• General price range (ex. Items sold are generally between $15-$80)
• Have you ever worked Chuck Fest before?
• Social media handles (Facebook and Instagram)
• Website/ online marketplace

Please submit photo samples and promotional material to Cameron Fultz at cameronf@artscouncilswla.org. These are not necessary for selection, but they will give the committee a good idea of what to expect, plus these can be used for artist spotlights leading up to the event if selected.

Once selected, vendors will need to pay a $50.00 vendor fee (instructions for payment will be provided after selected), and vendors keep 100% of sales. There will be no refunds for inclement weather, as Chuck Fest is a rain or shine event. Vendors will receive one table and one chair per booth, but are encouraged to bring any tents, stands, easels, tables, chairs, shelves, decorations, etc. to make your booth your own!

Art Vendors must either sell items or products related to arts, crafts, or humanities.

Vendors are responsible for providing all necessary equipment (except for a single table and chair), and should expect to start selling by 12 PM, with set-up time to be announced. Please be aware that it can get very windy downtown, so make sure all your items can be secured.
