June through September there are two ways to sell art in a tent at the ECAG Art Gallery: 1) You may have your own tent on the grass for a fee - three spaces are available; or 2) Rent a portion of a large tent that will be on the cement patio June through October. The patio tent is juried. If more than two people want the space a drawing of accepted artists will determine who has the space. It is anticipated that the best dates during this time to sell art will be during the Friday Night Market and Main Street Events.
The Friday Night Market begins on June 13, 2025, and runs through August 15, 2025

This means in part that no copyright laws are violated in creating the art and appropriate releases have been obtained from subjects of photos or photo references. The contract also specifies wall art must be framed with two back hooks one on the left and one on the right with a wire connecting them to be compatible with the ECAG Art Gallery hanging system.
