What does ‘juried application’ mean and why?

The Salt City Market aims to create a unique and fresh art & craft market experience that showcases high-quality, well-designed and contemporary handmade artworks. We aim to set ourselves apart from other markets and expose the greater Syracuse community to the best of the best, while showcasing a wide variety of art mediums.
Also due to the large volume of applicants, limited space and the desire to showcase a variety of art mediums – we need to edit.

How much does it cost? What does my booth fee cover?

Each booth space is $40. Your fee includes a 8′ x 8′ booth space, logo + link on promotional materials and the website for a year, table and 2 chairs (upon request). This year you need to bring your own table clothes. (The fee to rent them is as expensive as buying one which you can use again.)
