Participation in RISD Craft Spring 2026 is a benefit offered exclusively to RISD alumni and is managed by the Office of Alumni + Family Relations. By submitting your application you ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE to the following conditions and failure to comply with the following may make you ineligible for future sales:

Only RISD degree program alumni may participate. Participants must be present for the duration of the show; sales representatives are never permitted in the place of the artist and you cannot break down your booth before 5 pm.
Participation is not transferable in any way. If you forgo your table, you cannot give it to another artist; please email alumnisale@risd.edu and we will contact the next person on the waiting list.
Booth sharing is not permissible for RISD Craft Spring.
Works sold must be designed by and/or made by you, and not outsourced in an unethical way. Your work must comply with all applicable laws, including but not limited to copyright. Participants cannot sell items that they did not make or alter in some way.
All work exhibited must be of the same body, quality, and category of work juried through digital images.
Food products are not permitted, and music cannot be played by participants during the sale.
Participants are required to check in before setting up, and check out with required paperwork at the end of the day.
The sale of goods containing the RISD name, logo, or insignia is prohibited without RISD's express consent.
Participants accept all risks inherent to participation in the events, including but not limited to: inclement weather (rain, snow, wind, and other natural forces), uneven or slippery surfaces, lost, stolen or damaged property. Participants agree to accept responsibility to safeguard and protect their property from damage. RISD is in no way responsible for damaged property or resolving disputes over damaged property.
Participants are required to limit displays to the allotted booth area, and displays cannot block another participant's booth or the pedestrian aisle in any way. Personal tents are never allowed. Please be respectful of your neighbor! Contact RISD's sale coordinator prior to the day of sale if you are unsure of what is allowed.
RISD reserves the right to give away your table if you do not check-in at least 60 minutes before the start of the sale, or let us know you are running late.
Failure to show up without a reasonable explanation will automatically make you ineligible for the next two consecutive shows.
Participants must purchase and display appropriate sales permits for the day, as well as fill out the end-of-sale reconciliation worksheet and pay any taxes due (if applicable) when you check out at the end of the sale. Failure to do any of this will result in ineligibility for future sales. Instructions will be provided.
Participants are required to observe appropriate business practices and be aware of the rights of consumers.
Participants are expected to communicate in a respectful and courteous manner with sale staff and other participants. Failure to do so will result in future ineligibility.
Participants are not allowed to bring pets while vending at RISD Craft.
