Yes! We request that you make those arrangements prior to submitting your application. The names on the application should include both businesses represented. Uploaded photos should also be representative of all of the products that will be sold at the Pop Up Art Shop. We request that no more than two vendors share a space. When you apply, indicate which business should receive the invoice.

If we have bad weather, we will move everyone inside with one table per shop.

We do not give refunds for cancellations by the artist. When Oklahoma State University closes due to inclement weather, the Center does as well. In this case, we will apply your fee to the next available date.
