Thank you for your interest in the upcoming festival season. The Holiday and Spring Festivals are sponsored by Eastern Illinois University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Doudna Fine Arts Center. The purpose of the festivals is to promote the arts to those who reside in east central Illinois and throughout the Midwest.
All artists wishing to sell their handcrafted goods can participate in our festivals.
Doudna Fine Arts Center on the campus of Eastern Illinois University.
NOTE: Special arrangements must be made in advance by emailing Dennis Malak at dfmalak2@eiu.edu.
100% of the art vendor fee will go towards student scholarships within the Department of Art + Design. The 10% commission charge covers staffing costs associated with the consignment sales.
Booth location: These are 10'x10' areas on the Doudna Fine Arts Center's Concourse. Artists purchasing booth locations are required to be present during the open festival hours.
Consignment: This sale type allows the artist to drop off their work (labeled and priced) for the festival staff to sell. Artists participating in the consignment sales are not required to be present during festival hours and will receive a summary sheet indicating the results of their sales upon picking up their work. Consignment artists will receive a check less 10% for all works sold within approximately four weeks of the sale. Each artist may submit up to 100 works for consignment. If you select this sale type, you will receive more detailed instructions prior to drop-off.
