ARTISTS

Artists applying must be a Cape Cod resident spending at least six months a year at their Cape Cod address as their primary residence.

Artists may be asked to submit proof of residency.

Work must be original handmade or hand-designed.

Multiple artists may share a shanty but they all must separately apply and be accepted.
Artists sharing the shanties shall coordinate payments and submit ONE check as deposit and ONE as balance due.

Artists who request specific locations on the application will NOT have be considered to participate for the upcoming season.  This is one program, two locations, just steps away from one another.  Artists are first assigned dates and once dates accepted, locations are assigned.
