CALL FOR DAAL MEMBERS

OHIO STATE FAIR GIFT SHOP

Event chairs: Lee Ann Lander, Donna Gleditsch, Marsha Dumm.

DAAL members have been invited to take over the Ohio State Fair Gift Shop on August 1-4, 2024.
This will provide great exposure for participating artists and the Dublin Area Art League and hopefully yield lots of sales!
FREE to artists. DAAL will take care of the rental fee. In exchange, each artist who participates will be asked to volunteer in some way to help run the store and make the event happen. DAAL will retain a 5% transaction fee on all sales.

Not a member? Join here!

What to Submit

2D and 3D items are accepted. Artworks, accessories, jewelry, hand-made things, apparel, etc. Being a gift shop in an environment where buyers will have to walk around holding their purchase, we encourage manageable items to carry around for a couple of hours.
Some ideas of things that may sell well are small and medium artworks, cards, scarves, jewelry, ornaments, prints, small sculptures, ceramics, key chains, fiber art, t-shirts, bags, magnets, and more. Think of the kind of products you may see in a museum gift shop, plus, of course, original art.
To apply, please fill out the form below and leave specifics about the type of art product you’d like to sell.

Every applicant will be accepted. Event chairs will select the items and quantities to bring in the effort of curating the assortment of items in the shop.
Each member is welcome to submit multiple items; please list them in the form below.

Display. We’ll have walls, shelves, two card holders, a vertical rack, and a couple of print holders. If your items require special display support, such as hangers, racks, cases, etc., you must also provide those.

DEADLINE TO APPLY IS JULY 12, 2024
After submission, you will receive an email with more details, including a time to drop off your items. The drop-off will be at Donna Gleditsch house in Dublin.

Sincerely,

The Event Chairs
