What will be included in the registration packet?

When will I set-up?
- Load-in commences on Friday, October 8, 2010, and each artist will be assigned a specific appointment time for load-in. Exact times for load-in are determined by booth placement and will be released in late August.
- All tents will be set up before load-in commences and traffic flow will be closely monitored and controlled.
During what hours of the festival am I required to be in my tent?
- Artists are required to man their booths during the festival hours of 11:00am to 6:00pm on Saturday and Sunday, October 9th and 10th
Where will I go if I need to rest, eat, or request equipment or a booth sitter?
- New for LJAWF 2010 is an "Artists' Cove" area providing an exclusive rest and dining area for artists
- This area will have a "Cove Concierge" booth with LJAWF staff who can assist you with providing booth sitting, getting equipment, or other needs
Where will I park? How will I get to the festival?
- A free shuttle will be available at the intersection of Nautilus Street and Fay Avenue (less than half a mile from the event) to allow for parking at nearby schools and along Nautilus Street
- The shuttle will run every 10-15 minutes and all shuttle drop-off and pick-up will be at the south entrance on the corner of Girard Avenue and Genter Street, accessible via Fay Avenue
- Valet parking is located at the South Entrance on Genter Street and Girard Avenue available for $10 per day. Handicapped persons (with appropriate documentation) will receive free valet parking
Why does LJAWF charge admission? How do I know that the admission price isn't a deterrent for attendees?
- LJAWF is a fundraiser for art, music, science, and physical education programs at three public elementary schools facing massive cuts in the San Diego Unified School District. The admission fee is a major source of revenue for the philanthropy. It is important to note that the $10 admission includes all day access to the festival and crafting at the Family Art Center. The admission also includes parking and a free shuttle less than one mile from the LJAWF site. So, while attendees will pay for admission, they won't pay for parking, which essentially offsets the admission charge.
- LJAWF 2010 includes a new 2-day admission ticket for $15 to encourage people to come both days.
Why do I have to rent a tent?
- LJAWF now includes a tent rental in the artist's fee. This decision was driven by two goals: improve artist load-in logistics and increase street appeal. The City of San Diego does not allow a street closure until after business hours. Providing tents that we will set up immediately after street closure will facilitate a fast and efficient set up procedure for artists. Further, we feel that the high quality tents and signage will improve the street appeal of the festival, attracting larger crowds.
- LJAWF strives to host San Diego's finest artist event while maintaining what we believe to be the lowest artist participation fees for an event of this caliber in the area.
Can I embellish my booth?
- The LJAWF encourages artists' creativity in their booths. However, please note that extended signs, tables, or other items will not be allowed beyond your designated tent space.
What is the Artists' Cove?
- LJAWF designates the Artists' Cove area as an exclusive space in the festival for artists. It is here that a "Cove Concierge" booth will be set up manned by LJAWF personnel to respond to artists' requests for booth sitters, equipment needs, or anything else.
- Artists will have access to the Cove area to check-in, ask questions, and rest away from the crowds.
Do you provide overnight security?
- Artists are responsible for the security of their belongings at all times.
- The festival provides 24-hour roving security the weekend of the festival
