Salesbooks & commission:
10% outdoor booths, 15% (sales by artists, indoor booths) - 20% (sales by AATS swiper for indoor booths.
Each artist agrees to keep a 3-part receipt book (provided) with sales info & customer email/text info.
AATS success and growth depends on the honor system. We sincerely appreciate your integrity on these items.
The contacts from the receipt books have been invaluable for correct financials and it directly increases our base for future shows.
Turn in your sales book and commissions to assigned Susette/staff before you leave at the end of the show.
Artists of Outdoor Booths provide their own tent and/or display equipment:
Items such as your tent, grids / panels, hangers, zip ties, tables, chair, and so forth.
Tip: White tents provide the best light to view artwork. Blue and Green are terrible.
Weights: All booths MUST have adequate weights with a minimum of 40 lbs or more for each corner.
Find out what the optimal weight needed for your booth.
It occassionally gets breezy. Last year was beautiful, but still, please be prepared.
One tent was destroyed by wind for lack of weights during non-event hours - lesson learned.
Insurance: Booth artists should consider carrying their their own insurance.
AATS carries catastrophic event insurance, but this does not cover individual booths if there is negligence.
For instance, if your display were to fall over and hurt someone, it would be considered your liability. If you're interested, my agent is Richard Bolter 435-671-1330 richbolt@gmail.com
Security: AATS does not have overnight security or surveillance .
It is up to each booth artist to determine if they will remove artwork each night, or not.
We have never had a problem. However, it is your call.
There is space inside the Community Center for overnight storage.
Unloading & Parking: Artists may unload at the closest available parking spot to their booth.
Long term parking is particularly good for artists on the North side of Town Square.
Do not park in the Post Office Parking lot.
No art vans or big vehicles will be allowed to remain parked on Main Street after unloading.
Large vehicles block the street view. Artists, please give up those spaces to customers.
Volunteers:
Volunteers will be available from time to time to provide water, occasional treats, and short breaks for booth artists.
They are not allowed to sell art or manage transactions. They are not liable for any losses or claims.
We have always had rave reviews about our volunteers! Please let them know you appreciate their service to you.
Restrooms will be available in both buildings; the Midway Community Center and the Midway Town Hall.
Location of booths will be assigned in advance of the event by AATS with location preferences given to the order of dates for paid booths.
AATS reserves the right to make booth adjustments as needed but will make every attempt to honor artist requests.
Outdoor Booths are spaced 10' apart for maximum space for art and viewing of art on all sides.
No abandoned booths:
Empty, unattended booths detract from the event which affects others and creates a liability.
We reserve the right to remove abandoned booths.

This is a community event and subject matter is a consideration.

The Mission, Vision and Standards of AATS:
We seek to develop a fine art experience that will be treasured by our community.
Our mission is to bring about extraordinarily friendly, active, and prosperous opportunities for like-minded fellow artists.
Together we aim to create the most enjoyable artfest possible for all ages of visitors and participants.
Where creative doors are closed, AATS wants to open them, wide!
We are indebted to the art loving public in our community and to this great country where we are granted the privilege of free enterprise.
We are committed to honesty, cooperation, and fair-minded business practices.
We sincerely appreciate friends, family members and volunteers who assist us in a multitude of critical ways.
We assume and expect that artists will work together in genuine cooperation with each other.
We are grateful for those whose vision, resources and effort in decades past, established the amazing facilities we use.
We are also sincerely grateful to the Midway City Counsel, the Midway Boosters, Mayor Celeste Johnson, the Midway City staff, private donors, and to the Wasatch County Art Council for their essential and generous support. Without them, the arts would struggle and languish, but because of them, the arts flourish and grow.
