FOR ARTISANS

An Artisan for the purpose of this program is defined as an individual that makes hand crafted products without the use of kits, commercial models and whose primary components are not manufactured. Examples of artisans include but are not limited to painters, potters, weavers, quilters, acoustic musicians, artisan bakers, value-added producers, authors/writers, etc.

Artisans will be located at Tour Sites and can sell their products. Farmers Markets are tour sites but we do not place artisans at these locations as they have their own rules and regulations for participating.

All artisans (including bakers and value-added food producers) must hold, and be prepared to present, any applicable permit or license required to sell your product in South Carolina as well as in the county and municipality hosting your Tour. Artisans can participate on multiple weekends and can indicate the weekend(s) of their choice in the application.

The Ag + Art Tour County Planning Teams will make every effort to place artisans at their requested locations, but this placement cannot be guaranteed. If multiple artisans select the same location, priority will be given to artisans who will participate on both days of the Tour (rather than one-day-only); to artisans who are local to the host county; and to artisans who have not no-showed for the Tour in a previous year. Assignments will also seek to provide for a diversity of wares and activities at each site.

Artisans who register to participate in the Ag + Art Tour and then no-show without cause or communication may not be selected to participate in the Tour in future years.
