The Royal Bison is now
accepting applications for the 13th Royal Bison Craft and Art Fair –
Holiday Edition!

Applications can be made from August 15th until midnight, September 30,
2012. At that point, the Bison will consider all factors and come up
with a roster for the fair and inform applicants of the results. 

 
The fair will be held on December 1 & 2, 2012 at the Old Strathcona
Performing Arts Centre building at 8426 Gateway Blvd in Edmonton,
Canada. We’re nicely close to the busy Strathcona Farmers’ Market crowd!
Hours are 10AM to 5PM on Saturday and 12PM to 5PM on Sunday. We expect
2500+ visitors over 2 days! 
 
There are two table options:
1) HALF TABLE ($45.00 for 4 ft)
2) FULL TABLE ($90.00 for 8ft)
*Any additional space needed for racks, etc., must be deducted from the
vendor’s table space.

Payment is due after you have been accepted. We accept e-transfers,
Paypal and/or the archaic personal cheque for table fees. 

 
Some things to note: 
• Sorry, the Bison cannot accept one-day vendors. 
• If you back out of the fair after you’ve been accepted, we will still
have to charge you for your table, and we may ask you to take a vacation
from the next fair. 
With our new setup, backed-out on tables can go to
other awesome vendors on a wait list. 
Admittance to the Bison is competitive! 
Please note the Bison only has
space for roughly 70 vendors, and we regularly receive nearly double
that number of applications. Don’t let that discourage you, we do make
space for new vendors in every fair! 
If you have any questions, just email us at [email protected]. 
Thanks for applying – we can’t wait to see what you’ve got for us this season!

Best,
Vikki Wiercinski

Applications are being accepted through Sept. 15th
 

 
New this year, in conjunction with the 37th Annual Holiday Show & Sale, Lillstreet’s 3rd floor will be transformed into a vibrant marketplace on Friday, Nov. 30th from 5pm – 9pm.

We
are excited to offer this new opportunity to our community of creative
artists. The fair is open to all current Lillstreet faculty members,
monitors, and students who have attended a Lillstreet class in the 2011
or 2012 calendar years, or are enrolled to start a course before the
year’s end.  Not you? Don’t worry! You still have time to enroll in a fall class and
participate in open studio to work on your items. Save $10 on 5-week
classes and $20 on 10-week classes when you register for fall classes by
August 20th.

We are seeking handmade artisan quality items, and will give special
consideration to vendors whose products are made at Lillstreet, or made
with skills gained from classes taken at Lillstreet. We are looking to
represent a diversity of arts and crafts offerings, with a focus on
unique gift items and craftsmanship. For more details about the Student
& Faculty Art Fair please visit the Opportunities Section on Lillstreet Gallery.

If you’re ready to apply, you can start your application HERE. 
There is a non-refundable application fee of $15 to apply for the fair,
and we expect to have room for 80 artists. Once accepted, you can
choose if you’d like a 3ft table space for $30.00 or a full 6ft table
for $60.00. Tables will be provided as part of your booth fee.

If you have additional questions  please contact Special Events Manager, Claire Hurwitz at [email protected] or call 773-769-4226.
