As this year is unusual, we are anticipating the need to accommodate a smaller show, and will accept at least 100 artists initially, and up to our typical 150 as conditions allow. Should we need to cancel the in-person 2021 show due to government-issued, Covid-related mass gathering restrictions or local health concerns, all booth fees will be fully refunded. Application fees will not be refunded. Peters Valley will decide by June 25th if in-person show does not look feasible, and will announce alternative plans at this time.
