This year's Spring Sale will be held, for the last time, in the Fellowship Hall at South-Broadland Presbyterian Church at 79th and Holmes, with room for up to 45 artists. 

This is a non-juried sale. All applicants who properly complete the application will be accepted. This sale will include a central checkout, so artists do not need to tend to their table for the entire sale. This year, we are requiring all artists to submit an Excel file of their inventory. Office hours will be arranged to assist those that need it. A file of the inventory sheets and instructions will be sent out once the sale application closes. Each artist will be asked to help staff the sale in the form of one 4-hour shift. A sign-up for the time of the shift and assigned task will be sent out after the application closes. 

Each artist will be allotted a 6'x3' space for their set up and must bring their own table and table cloth, or similarly sized display shelves.

Inventory sheets and labels with artist codes will be provided to each artist, in either a digital or paper form. We will provide more information and instructions once the application closes. Artists are asked to cap their total number of items for sale at 240 to keep the inventory spreadsheet manageable. For reference, the top sellers at each sale sell an average of 150 items. 

Be sure to have your high-quality photos and Word Doc of your artist statement/ personal bio ready before filling out the application. Images should be 300 DPI and should be large enough to be used for online advertisement and social media. Be sure to fill out all required fields in the application before paying. Payment is due at the time of registration. Applications left unpaid for more than 24 hours will be automatically deleted.  

Artists keep 80% of sales and the KC Clay Guild will take 20% for overhead and expenses. Artists will be paid by check, Paypal, or Zelle
