General Information
The primary focus of the Walnut Valley Festival are the 8 national flat picking championships and more than 200 hours of main stage music. Running in conjunction with the festival is the Paulette Rush Arts & Crafts Show. This event provides music fans a wide range of quality craftwork to shop including jewelry, artwork, pottery, leatherwork, carving, clothing, photography, metalworks, and other original work by artists and craftspeople. Prize-providing luthiers are also invited to exhibit and sell their hand-crafted instruments.
Craft Application Process and Acceptance Criteria
Check back in January for the updated application.
Applications to this Juried Show are considered on the basis of quality and originality. Crafters are carefully selected to provide a variety of quality and unique crafts for every fan. Located in the center of the Cowley County Fairgrounds, the arts and crafts show is focused on providing handcrafted items, and as such, a very limited number of buy/sell vendors are admitted. It is to your advantage to get your application in early since the first selections will be made in March. All will be notified as to whether or not they have been selected.
