Guest Artists should have enough inventory to keep their section well stocked for the entirety of the show and must be able to restock their display area as work sells.

The show is located inside the clay studio; ample parking is available just outside the studio in the park. The show is well advertised and well attended.



This sale is the main fundraiser for the studio and is volunteer run by our resident artists and students, as well as the administrative staff.

40% of sales will go to SPCS and 60% of sales to guest artists.
