Out of state artists can obtain a CA SBE Permit at CDTFA . Permits must be displayed on site. Fine arts and selected fine quality crafts are accepted. Work must be designed and executed by the artist. Displaying artwork other than as represented in the submitted images may result in removal from the show.

On-the-spot demonstrations of work and methods are welcome.All artwork sales are to be handled by the exhibitor with a 12% sales commission due to Soroptimists International of Borrego Springs immediately at the end of the event; any discrepancies regarding sales totals and commission due are to be settled before leaving Christmas Circle.Exhibitors are required to issue a receipt for each and every purchase. Those who intentionally fail to record the true amount of a sale on a receipt will be noted as being in breach of their agreement with the Circle of Art and may be asked to leave. We strongly recommend that artists who feel unable to meet these requirements do not apply to this show.Exhibitors should be aware that Borrego Springs is a remote community, and although there is cellular coverage from the 3 main providers (AT&amp;T, T-Mobile, Verizon), internet access for sales can be slow if there is a lot of activity in the town. A password-protected wifi hotspot can be made available for sales; exhibitors (ab)using this service for other than sales processing (i.e. streaming, etc.) will be in breach of their agreement with the Circle of Art and may be asked to leave.For the safety of artists, attendees and artwork, exhibitor booths must be well-staked down (for example, with rebar and sand bags, or the equivalent); the Borrego Springs area can be subject to very strong, destructive winds that can cause damage to booths and injury to people. The Circle of Art Chair reserves the right to determine if your booth meets this standardExhibitors should be prepared to display in inclement weather (e.g. rain, strong winds); no refunds will be given.
