our website, www.bathhousecultural.com. Other promotional materials will be
distributed to our media list and to our general patron list.
In addition to the postcards, we will also have yard signs (18" x 24") to promote the
event. Let us know if you would like to get one, too. If you get a sign, please make
sure that you place it in a private property. The Department of Code Enforcement will
fine the Bath House if the signs are placed in a restricted location.
FYI - City of Dallas code: Signs (Section 3, 7A-16 and 51A)
It is a violation of the City code to post any signs (notices, posters or other paper devices) on a
utility pole, lamp post, shade tree; public structure or building or on the City's right-of-way or
median except as may be authorized or required by law. This includes garage sale signs.
Even if you don't live in Dallas, it is likely that your city has a similar rule.
• OTHER INFORMATION
If you were assigned a booth that has a price lower than what you paid us, we will give
you a refund check on the weekend of the Art Mart to compensate you for the
overpayment.
Unfortunately, the layout of the booth cannot be altered after the committee has
assigned locations for the artists. If you were given a space that is not to your
satisfaction, you may opt out of the event by contacting the Bath House Cultural
Center immediately, and we will assign the booth space to another artist. We hope
