Island Arts Association – 2026 Fair Applications
**IAA’s Craft fairs are juried – all non-members must submit images of their work they will be featuring at our events**
****************************
Applicants must agree to the terms noted in the IAA Rules & Info page to participate in our fairs.
PLEASE NOTE
We at IAA have had the privilege of having outdoor fairs on MDI since 1975. We are a part of this community; and our sponsor the YWCA is a big part of this community. Our supporters are friends, business owners, and other local crafters. To have our outdoor fairs we must seek approval from these communities.
All fairs are outdoors, with the exception of our Holiday Fair. Each crafter must supply their own canopy, and adequate weights to protect against unpredictable weather.
The acceptance and wait-list notices will be sent via email after the application closes. Please note that checks will be deposited upon acceptance, within 1-2 weeks following the application deadline for each fair.
