Cost of Booth Space for Artists reduced again this year
DST Creative, producer and promoter of the Broadway Palm AJ Art Festival of the Superstitions and a participating festival artist announced that the cost for the 2-day festival for artists booth spaces has been lowered again this year. For just $60.00 for the 2-day event, artists can display in a 10′x20′ booth space. Two artists may share a space to keep costs affordable. Artists sharing space must both be juried in. If you have shown and been juried into any of the previous AJ Art Festivals you are automatically juried in. There is no jury or application fee for this festival for those artists who are applying to the event for the first time. This year the show is held under a Community Event License with a non-profit sponsor, the Superstition Area Cultural Alliance (SACA). Instead of having to have a valid City of Apache Junction Business License, participating artists only have to pay a $15.00 special event permit fee in addition to their booth fee. Those participating artists that already do have a current AJ City License will NOT be required to pay the $15.00. Festival attendance is expected to be 2000+ this year.
The cost last year was $75.00 for the space plus $50.00 for an AJ City Business License. Times are tough economically and DST Creative continually seeks ways to help artists affordably promote their work at this festival. If you are an artist and are interested in displaying and selling your work at this show contact Scott Taylor, Event Director at dstcreative@hotmail.com or call 480-474-1137. Original artwork and reproductions of the originals only please. No buy/sell merchandise.

Hello Scott, well I am interested very much now that the Business license has been changed, that was very costly for me last time, and I have been pretty successful on my Etsy shoppe, so hopefully this will be wonderful too, times are tough you are right, but I will tentatively put my name in for this for sure, 3 tables, we have a tent, and remember a space by the entrance or exit and close to a bathroom, Disability problems, thankyou for including me in this, let’s hope that this one is very successful.

Aloha Scott, This will be my first time applying for this event so I hope it goes well.
I have everything I need to participate; a tent, a few tables and plenty of works to display. The cost of booth space is what usually keeps me,(an emerging artist) from entering events like this one.
This year however, I’m proud to say that everything is in order. The cost is unbelievably cheap, especially when shared with another artist as I plan to do. So, all in all thank you for the opportunity- Spencer
