Guidelines
We are a PRO artist company. We will be prioritizing hand-made and artist-designed products. Absolutely NO Ai images may be displayed by participants of our faire. Print-on-demand and 3D printed products may be allowed if the vendor is designing these products themselves. Resale products will generally not be allowed with only a few exceptions. An example of an acceptable resale product is a leather boot maker reselling leather conditioner so their customers can take care of their boots. Another example may be craft products such as leather, furs, fabrics, bones, etc.
It really hurts the reputation of a faire when someone buys a decorative statue, only to find the EXACT product being sold for half the price at the local craft store not even a week later (was my exact experience). All types of products, especially resales, must be approved by the Craft Coordinator.
Artisan Tents
We want our faire to be as immersive as possible, so we will prioritizing Artists who can bring an authentic medieval-renaissance looking tent. Modern Pop-Up canopies can be decorated with trim and hanging fabric (aka "valance") to hide the modern look. We may still accept the modern looking tents first few years, but expect these to be banned once our budget allows.
Artisan Garb
All Artisans and their sales associates must wear garb. These requirements may not be as strict as they are at other larger faires. We are not a historic faire, so there is no need for historic accuracy. However, we still want everyone to look like they fit into the world of
Cross Realm Faire.
Here is a list of all banned articles of clothing for Artisans.
- Jeans
- Graphic T-Shirts
- Cargo pants/shorts
- Ball caps
- Sunglasses
- Hoodies/Zip up Jackets
For easy and cheap DIY garb options, there are loads of YouTube tutorials. Here is a very basic tunic tutorial.
Where will your shop fit in at faire?
We will be adding sections for each neighboring kingdom's culture in our faire's lore. Please browse through our lore page and think about whether your shop would most fit into the section of the humans, elves, dwarves, or pirates. If your shop is placed in a specific section, we ask that you dress in a way that represents that culture. Humans have a more bardic and English Renaissance culture. Elves are more druidic with nature themes and magic. Dwarves are a mix of Vikings and Scots. While Pirates are just pirates but can be any race and contain other cultures.
Sweepstakes
Artisans will have the opportunity to participate in a sweepstakes giveaway. The sweepstakes awards will be a collection of Artisan's products (and possibly more awards) and the winners will be chosen at random towards the end of each faire day. Anyone can receive a free sweepstake ticket by completing quests, leveling up, and purchasing a product from each participating Artisan. The schedule for the sweepstakes announcements will be displayed on the main Entertainment Schedule.
We feel this can be a great incentive to get Patrons to buy more products. If you'd like to participate, you must provide at least one handmade or self designed product for each day (so two products, also provide two tags so we know which vendor it belongs to). We will provide you with a sign that will indicate you are a participating artisan, which must be returned by Sunday evening. We will also give you sweepstakes tickets that you MUST give away for EACH product sold (not each order, each product). The schedule will be posted once it is decided.
