A Note from the Vendor Manager about the 2018 Arts & Crafts Festival:
Hello. Preparations for the 2018 Festival have begun. The Festival Committee has made a few changes that vendors should be aware of. We have defined the categories of crafts that are acceptable for sale/display. For a list, see below. Please note that we have eliminated any category containing beauty and health products, which includes soaps, lotions, essential oils, and honey. One of the purposes of the Oak Island Art Guild is to promote the arts and as such we have decided to accept only products that represent visual arts and avoid items that are better displayed at a Farmers’ Market or Flea Market.
If you have questions, please contact Penny Prettyman (910-398- 5555 or oiagacf@ec.rr.com).
