The mission of the Fourth Avenue Street Fair is to provide a community event, free to the public, with the highest quality artistic products and services. The artists' work is the focal point of the festival. The proceeds generated from the Fair directly support infrastructure and services in the Historic Fourth Avenue Business District which is listed in the United States National Register of Historic Places. The Fair also supports local nonprofit groups and surrounding neighborhood association enrichment projects, while promoting arts, culture, and traditions.

### Application Requirements

All applications must include five photos, four of which represent your work and one of your booth display. The images that you submit are what the jury will look at when they score your work.

All decisions of the jury panel are final.
