Frequently Asked Questions

PEGBOARD
Is the Pegboard attached to the tent or just leaning?
The Pegboard will be attached to the frame of the tent by the company that brings the tents.  It will be attached at 4 corners. 

How many pegboards do I need?
This depends on how many paintings you want to hang and the size of the paintings.  You can fit up to a total of  6 pegboards in a tent.  Typically people hang 3 pegboards in a tent.  The tent is 8’tall and the pegboard is hung horizontally, 1.5 ft from the top and 30’from the ground (height of a table)  So your art is then eye level.  They can hang 2 pegboards side by side, vertically in the tent and they will be top to ground.

How much weight can I hang?
You can hang 50 lbs on a side – equaling 150 lbs. 

Can I get my own pegs at the Hardware store? 
Sure, but be sure they are the correct size – ¼”.  This is bigger than the pegboard commonly found in garages around America! 

TENTS
How tall is the tent?
The tent is 8’ tall

Can I hang items from the frame?
Yes, you may hang items from the frame but you may not put any holes in the tent or the side panels.

SET-UP
When can I set up?
You will be given a time slot to set up.  All artists will be able to pull their car up to the front of their tent to unload.  Once unloaded – you will be asked to move your car immediately to make room for other artists.  Booth numbers and shirts will be assigned by late July.

SECURITY
What security are you providing?
We have hired a security company to patrol the street at night.  There will be 2 security people on all night.  The Tiburon and Belvedere Police will make extra rounds in the area.   We will do what we can, but you are still responsible for loss or damage to your art. 

Should I leave my art there?
That is up to you.  If it is not too difficult to move we would suggest taking it home at night.  Last year, most of the artist left their art in the tent.

Do the front panels help secure /lock the tent?
The front panels are designed to help protect the art from the weather. They would be a deterrent to theft if they are secured.  They do not lock.

ELECTRICITY
How does the electricity to the tents work?
Each tent that requests electricity will have 1 outlet.  You should bring an outlet strip with you if needed.

We will provide 10 AMPS of electricity per tent to each artist who requests it. That's 1,100 watts of electricity per tent at max.  Please be sure you do not exceed this wattage.  It will trip the system for all of the artists.  Artists requesting electricity will we clustered together a the festival.
