Festival participants must uphold the ISGA Mission, adhere to the ISGA Member Agreement, and meet the following requirements.

Vendor Focus

ISGA Festivals are focused on the showing of primarily sea and beach glass art. Accordingly, the festival will only accept vendors who are determined and proclaimed to be sea or beach glass artists; the festival will not accept coastal artist vendors.

Authenticity Standards

The Festival Committee will make the final determination as to whether a vendor meets the standards of a the vendor requirements at the time of application based on: 1) the vendor’s submitted application; 2) photos of vendor’s art; and/or 3) the vendor’s booth display. The Festival Committee has the sole discretion as to whether a vendor meets the criteria to be considered an eligible vendor for the festival and future ISGA festivals. Vendor’s booth must accurately represent what information was submitted and agreed to in the festival application.

Product Eligibility

1. Products must feature genuine sea or beach glass as the focal point of the art if other materials are displayed in the artwork other than sea or beach glass.
2. Every handmade product for sale at a vendor’s booth must be created and handcrafted by you, the artist, or co-artist. No products will be eligible if they are designed or outsourced to a third party. Merchandise such as books, prints, accessories, clothing, and other merchandise must feature the exhibitor’s original design and be sea or beach glass related.
3. One artist/one company per booth — no booth sharing.
