Artisans

Join the fun! Follow these steps to become a Sunsets at Pier 60 and Pier 60 Sugar Sand Festival participant.

• Step 1 - Participant Application: Artisans will need to provide images of their raw materials with receipts, work in progress and an image of the finished craft/art. A photo of a previous or proposed booth set-up is required.
• Step 2 - Application Review: Your application will be reviewed by event management. A representative of Sunsets at Pier 60/Pier 60 Sugar Sand Festival will contact you regarding the status of your application. Additional information and/or an in-person jury appointment may be required. Please be aware that these procedures are in place to ensure that all items are hand crafted by the participating artist and for the purpose of providing a variety of art offerings to guests.
• Step 3 - The following fees will apply: Upon your acceptance a registration fee of $35.00 and a $35.00 background screening will be due. If more than one screening is needed with your application, additional fees will be applied. This background screening is a requirement for participation by the city of Clearwater.
