Vendors, Welcome to Elko Art in the Park
Returning or new vendors, we greatly appreciate your support! The funds from this event and the raffle are our not-for-profit’s bread-and-butter, so to speak. We are able to keep our Gallery open for community artists, offer art classes to the community, and provide scholarships.

All vendors who are cooking food must abide by the City of Elko Fire Marshall & Special Event Safety Guidelines.
Securing tents
Elko has extreme wind gusts.
Based on our area's wind, the requirements for securing tents require more than standard tent stakes; long heavy-duty spikes, twist-in stakes, tent sandbags, or tent pole weights are required.
Due to the watering system in the park setting, we prefer you use tent leg or base weights (sand, water...), approximately 20+ lbs on each leg.
The straps go over the upper corners and are pulled directly down to tether.
Alcohol
The only alcohol allowed within the park area or associated right-of-way during set-up, the event or clean-up are purchased from approved Art in the Park Vendors.
Booth Sharing
Vendors are allowed to share a booth space if one of the following is met:
- Only one vendor is responsible for collecting and paying all sales tax at the end of the show.
- Each vendor is responsible for their own sales tax at the end of the show. *A fee of $50.00 will be invoiced for the additional business license.
Returned Checks
There will be a $50.00 returned check fee and a $15.00 administrative fee for any returned checks - cash or money order.
Vendors who have been notified of fees will not be able to register for the upcoming show until the fees are paid.
Electric & Water
- Neither electricity nor water is available.
- If needed, please plan on bringing ice, water, and a generator (if you are a food truck/tent).
- The local stores do sell bottled water and ice, and some sell out quicker than others.
