OVERVIEW
Young people are bursting with artistic energy. The Children and Youth Sidewalk Sale of the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts is a fun way for boys and girls to express themselves visually. The Children and Youth Sidewalk Sale encourages the creative growth of young people. We believe that they can develop their artistic potential through personal expression in individually crafted, original objects.

The Children and Youth Sidewalk Sale is a centerpiece of Children and Youth Day, July 9, 2008. This day features performances for and by young people, art and craft workshops and demonstrations, and a Grand Procession through the Festival site.

REQUIREMENTS
1. All artists must be between the ages 8 and 18 and live or have relatives living in any of the centrally located Pennsylvania counties (Blair, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Huntingdon, Mifflin and Union) to participate.

2. The artist must design and make all work. Work made from kits is not permitted. This includes items such as balloon yo-yos.

3. Artists must personally attend to their booths and must be present during the entire day. Representatives, including family members, may NOT attend in place of the artist.

4. Only items described in the application or shown in submitted photographs may be displayed.

5. Artists may not use their booths to display samples of items to be delivered later. Sales should be on a “cash and carry” basis.

All artwork must be original.

7. The following are absolutely prohibited:
—Services such as face painting, hair braiding, nailpainting or flower arranging; on site personalization and monogramming of work.
—The sale of food
—Use of licensed, trademarked, or copyrighted characters or names (e.g., no use in any way of the Penn State name, the Nittany Lion, Disney or Marvel Comics characters, Barney, team logos or similar names on any artwork or craft); Trademarks and logos should not be visible on products made from recycled materials.
—Games involving prize-winning or raffles;
—Activities that require the purchaser to assemble the product;
—Additions to applications after submission
—Commercial banners hanging in artists’ booths

BOOTH INFORMATION
1. Booths should be simple and functional.
2. Booths are ten feet wide. They may not extend more than eight feet into the center of the street.
4. Booth set-up and tear-down should take no longer than one hour with minimal adult help.
5. Each artist must provide a table, chairs, and any other materials necessary for display.
6. Space is assigned based on postmark or delivery date of completed application.
7. THE CPFA OFFICE WILL SEND YOU A CONFIRMATION PACKET AND PARKING PASS AFTER JUNE 20, 2008. PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE FESTIVAL OFFICE REGARDING YOUR APPLICATION STATUS BEFORE THAT DATE.

TENTS
We must keep the center of the street free of obstructions for emergency vehicle access. Booths may not extend more than eight feet from the curb line into the center of South Allen Street. We will be able to accommodate a limited number of 10’ by 10’ tents, as long as they do not extend more than eight feet into the street. In other words, the rear tent legs will have to be placed on the sidewalk or grass behind the booth.

Ten by ten tents will not fit in certain spots because there are obstructions, such as street lights, signs, and trees, which prevent a tent from being moved back the required two feet. Accordingly, please indicate on your application if you intend to bring a ten by ten tent.
