Here is what will happen During the Mallory
square jury process.
When you arrive:
1) Give us your name; we
create a list of who will be juried today. The first person to arrive is juried
first and so on.
2) If you haven’t already done so, get an
application and fill it out. You will give this us that when it is your turn to be
juried.
3) If you need to set up your craft demonstration
ahead of time, go ahead and lay it out, but don’t make anything yet, wait for
us.
When it’s your
turn to jury:
1) Give us your application
along with a 20$ jury fee. If you already paid 5$ to get a “jury by mail”, than,
you only need to pay $15 today. (If you don’t know what “jury by mail” is don’t
worry about it)
2) Second, show us your
finished products so we know what type of thing you wish to sell. (page two has
a brief summery about what we are looking for)
3) Third we will ask you to demonstrate how you
hand-make the product and we will ask some questions so we can learn about it.
If the product you are jurying takes a lot of time we may ask you to continue
working while we see other applicants. We will check back to see how you are
doing.
3) That’s it. You can go home now. We need time to discuss each applicant
to make our decision.
What happens
after the jury.
After everyone leaves, the
committee gets together to discuss and vote on each applicant. We create an
official report, which goes to the board of Directors on Wednesday morning, and
the pier manager gets a copy Wednesday night.
On Wednesday night (or any
night after Wednesday) between 1 hour before sunset and an hour after sunset
it’s your responsibility to call the pier or stop by to find out the committee’s
decision. The number to call is 292-7700 the pier manager will answer and let
you know the committee’s decision.
If you are accepted then you
must work at least one day in the next 30 days in order to “lock in” your
acceptance. If you can't make it down for any reason, let us
know so that we can give you an extension. Also you will need a sales tax
number. Read This Page to learn
how to get that (it's easy) and to learn other things about your first day
selling.

What Types of things we are Not looking for:
This is a hand-crafted market. If you do not make what you sell your self or if you do not make it by hand you will not be let in.
Because we are a handcrafted market we do not allow “digital art” if you make your product with a computer you will not be let in. Until recently this was only a convention, now it is a rule. Some examples of Digital art are: DVD’s, CD’s, anything made with digital photography programs, anything involving onsite printing.
Some categories are closed due to over representation.
What kind of things we are looking for:
Original, hand crafted products that we don’t already have at Mallory square.
