Be a Vendor at the StG Arts Market - St. George's Episcopal School

The St. George's Episcopal School Arts Market

October 5, 2024 | 5-7:30 p.m. | Art for Art's Sake

The St. George's Episcopal School Arts Market returns for Art for Art's Sake 2024, this year falling on Saturday, October 5th. The Arts Market is open to the public from 5-7:30 p.m. and is located in the St. George's gymnasium, with frontage and doors facing a popular stretch of Magazine Street. The StG gym was once an open-air market for the town of Jefferson, and our school community is excited to host another successful Arts Market in this space, celebrating student and vendor artwork, providing a forum for a well-attended school community gathering and raising funds for the St. George's Creative Arts Department.

To be considered as a vendor at the St. George's Arts Market, please complete the application below. Priority will be given to employees, students and their family members, alumni and past parents.

Fees:

The vendor fee will be payable to St. George's Episcopal School following acceptance of your application. A limited number of rectangular folding tables are available at no cost to vendors. Tables must be reserved via this application and are first come, first served.

No vendor fee applies for currently employed StG faculty and staff or currently enrolled students with the donation of one of more items valued at $20 or more for our event raffle.
- St. George's reserves the right to limit the number of student vendors and/or limit the space available to those vendors/the number of items to be sold (e.g. create a shared student vendor space within the layout) pending the quantity of applications received.
