Set-up:

Main Street Hartsville places artists and performers in participating businesses and contacts artists before the Art & Wine Stroll with their placements.

 Artists and performers must contact their assigned businesses before the event to determine a set-up date/time and ways to display artwork. Participants are solely responsible for their set-up, including transporting work and display materials. Only hang artwork on walls with proper approval.

Performers must provide their stands, speakers, and any other necessary materials & equipment.

Take-Down:

Artists are responsible for taking down and transporting their work. Artists must contact their assigned business to determine take-down dates/times.
