Help us transform Ebsco Hall into an interactive Exhibition Hall for those who engage with Literature.
Join us Saturday and/or Sunday to sell what you have created. We will be open to the public from 11-6pm and we want to share what you have created. Sign up then complete the Publicity Form below!
Table space starts at $25. All exhibitors are required to sell their own items. There is not a centralized checkout. Each exhibitor should choose the method of payment they are most comfortable with.
So you can't be with us in person, be with us in spirit! Get your item on display. Sign up then complete the Publicity Form below!
Display space is $5 per item. All participants displaying items must also complete the display submission form once for each item being displayed. Deadline is Monday, Oct 2nd.
Artists with 2 dimensional art, photography, and illustration are encouraged to sign up. Writers, voice actors, art and writing teachers, publishers, bloggers and other artists who work with the printed word are invited to take part one or both days.
This Art & Authoring Festival is open to established and emerging writers and artists. Students young and seasoned are encouraged to take part in the event and the event planning.

Creators who would like to have a presence at the Festival but due to scheduling conflicts can not attend should choose this option.

- Provide a brief bio
- Provide a URL that links to a particular item (i.e. the book displayed on a website that a participant can purchase from OR a link to a shop that sells your work)
A $5 fee will be collected for this service.
At the Exhibit Hall, your provided item will be placed on a display table with a QR Code for participants to follow to learn more about how to purchase that item or a similar item. The example item should not be one of a kind.

Because the Ipswich Art Association is not taking payment for purchases leaving a table unattended it would mean that books and art could not be sold.
Exhibitors may have a QR code or a similarly simple way displayed on your table to direct people on how to make a purchase, ie a link to your website, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble page.
Language Lives and Ebsco Hall would not be held responsible for a display.
