art of local and regional artists working in a variety of
styles, including painting, sculpture, photography,
ceramics, pottery, mixed media art, jewelry, mosaics,
glass and other media. The Art Mart booth fees and
the proceeds of the silent auction benefit the Friends
of the Bath House Cultural Center, a non-profit
organization that supports year-round visual and
performing arts programs at the center.
The Bath House Cultural Center is a facility
of the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs that is
dedicated to fostering the growth, development and
quality of multi-cultural arts. The center emphasizes
innovative visual and performing arts as well as other
multi-disciplinary events throughout the year.
• SUBMITTING

Artists who would like to be considered for the
Art Mart must fill out an Artist Application Form and
submit it to the Bath House Cultural Center by the
application deadline. Applications must be received
by the deadline in order to be considered. Booth fees
and photographs of artwork are to be included with the
application. Please read all the information contained
in these guidelines carefully before submitting your
application. Signing and submitting applications
implies agreement to terms and conditions stated in
these guidelines. Please contact the Bath House
Cultural Center if you have questions.
Saturday, Oct. 10, 2015 (5 PM)
• JURYING OF APPLICATIONS
All the applications are reviewed by a
Selection Committee, which selects 40-45 artists to be
included in the Art Mart. The committee members
base their selection on a number of factors, which
include, among other criteria, the quality, uniqueness,
and the price of the artwork to be sold. The committee
attempts to maintain a well-balanced representation of
artists and media in order to provide a diverse
marketplace for art patrons.
The committee's selection is final and undisputable.
• NOTIFICATION OF
ACCEPTANCE
Applicants are solely responsible for
reviewing the results of the selection process by
visiting the Bath House Cultural Center’s online Media
Room at www.bathhousemedia.com
after 7 PM on Saturday, October 17, 2015.
• BOOTH SPACES
Booth spaces are available in five different
areas inside the building:
1.

3.
Theater
Lobby
Hallway Gallery
521 E. Lawther Drive • Dallas, Texas 75211 • (214) 670-8749 • www.bathhousecultural.com

4.
5.
Main Gallery
Classroom Gallery
All the spaces are located indoors and are of various
sizes. Occasionally, booth spaces are also available
in the front and back porch of the building.
NOTE: Artists are not allowed to hang art
on the walls of the lobby and theater.
Artists choosing these spaces must display
their works on movable panels, tables, or
pedestals.
ART MART UNDERGROUND: The 2015
Art Mart will not include spaces in the Art
Mart Underground area (located in the
lower level of the building).
• SELECTION OF BOOTH
LOCATIONS / BOOTH FEES
Please refer to the application and booth
maps to see the available size, location, configuration,
and price of each booth space.
The applicants will have a chance to specify
the location of two booth locations of their preference
on their application. The committee will consider the
locations indicated by the artists and will attempt to
give each vendor the space of his/her choice.
However, very often the locations desired by the
artists are not available because of a number of
circumstances (heavy demand of some spaces, heavy
concentration of artists offering similar products in the
same room, and other logistical considerations). In
such cases, the committee will offer an alternative
location to artists. If an artist does not accept the
location assigned to him/her, that person will have the
option of opting out of the Art Mart, thus giving another
vendor a chance to participate in the event.
Booth fees are to be included with the
application. Checks must be written in the amount of
t h e highest priced booth of the artist’s top two
choices. If a lower priced booth is assigned to the
artist, the Friends of the Bath House Cultural Center
will reimburse the fee difference to the applicant on the
weekend of the Art Mart. The checks of applicants
who are not selected for the Art Mart will be destroyed
with a paper shredder.
Artists will only be allowed to setup their booth
if their fee has been received by the Art Mart
committee. In the event of a returned check, the
applicant will not be allowed to participate in the event
and his/her space will be assigned to another artist.
• TABLES, DISPLAYS AND
EQUIPMENT
Artists must provide their own equipment for
the display of their artwork (panels, chairs, electrical
chords, extra lighting, tablecloths, etc.). Tables (6’ x
32”) can be rented for the weekend for $10. Adequate
lighting will be provided in all booth spaces, but artists
can also bring additional lighting devices of their own.
• SHARING OF BOOTHS
Subleasing or sharing of booth space is not
allowed. Multiple artists who represent one single art
organization, however, are eligible to share a booth.
• SILENT AUCTION
All vendors are required to donate one item
(minimum value of $50) to the Friends of the Bath
House Cultural Center for use in a Silent Auction that
will take place during the Art Mart. Proceeds from the
silent auction will go to the Friends of the Bath House
Cultural Center, an organization that supports visual
and performing art events at the Bath House Cultural
Center. The Bath House must receive silent auction
items by Wednesday, November 18, 2015 (5 PM).
Please know that it is important that we get
your donations on time so we can set up the auction
on the Thursday before the Art Mart. Thank you for
your cooperation. The silent auction donation is in
addition to the booth fee requirement. Vendors will not
be allowed to participate in the Art Mart if they do not
provide an auction item by the designated date.
You may hand-deliver your auction donation to the
Bath House during the center’s regular hours,
Tuesday-Saturday, 12-6 PM.
NOTE: Artists who live outside of the DFW
area should contact the Bath House to make
special arrangements to deliver/ship their
donations.
• SALES
Artists are responsible for conducting their
own transactions and for taking care of their own sales
taxes. The Bath House Cultural Center offers a limited
bandwidth Wi-Fi connection that enables artists to
conduct online transactions.
