Market Host Information

What happens if damage or theft occurs at the Market site during the event?

Most of our venues will carry insurance for damage or theft that occurs at their expense. We will confirm this with each host venue. If artist merchandise is not covered via the venue, BSA will purchase an insurance rider to provide coverage. Although we will make every effort to secure artist’s inventory, BSA cannot be held responsible for

What are the set-up and tear-down requirements?

While most Barn Swallow Artists are prepared to set up their booths the morning of the event, having access to the site the day prior to the event is much preferred. This allows Lauri and Lynn to get set up early, and be available to assist others as they move their goods in day-of. We find it goes

As the host site, what do we need to provide?

Our primary consideration for a host venue is that there is viable space to set up a BSA market. Space should be sheltered and heated (as necessary), and well-lit. In the drier months, we can consider using outdoor spaces. There should be electricity available at the site, as well as wifi coverage and password for vendor transactions.

It is

Are host sites required to provide staff for the Market?

We require that a representative from the venue be on site for the duration of the event.  The host venue should be open and operating while the market is happening. We encourage our host partners to engage and integrate with the market. Invite your employees and tasting room visitors to come through and meet our artists, pour (and

What are the costs to host a Market?

BSA administrative fees vary depending on the site, size of market (number of vendors), and goals of the partnering venue. We aim to offer a fee schedule that is fair and reasonable to all parties. Our business model is geared toward providing local artists with affordable outlets in which to sell their goods. For this reason, BSA does not

What is the process to schedule a Market?

Please complete and submit our online form and we will follow-up with you as soon as possible. We will arrange a site visit and meeting to discuss your thoughts concerning a BSA market. Once we determine it’s a go, Lauri and Lynn will take it from there-handling all vendor arrangements, communications, accounting, market set-up and take-down, etc.

How far in advance must a Barn Swallow Market be scheduled?

Ideally, we would have at least 6 months to arrange a BSA market. However, it rarely works out this way! If you are thinking about hosting a market, get in touch with us regardless of the timeline. We are experienced market organizers, and have a great variety of local artists to call on. It’s always possible we can
