For Artists
No gatekeepers. No commissions. No pretense. Just you, your art, and a room full of people who actually give a damn.
The Experience
It’s the overlap of raw art, hot griddles, and underground culture that shouldn’t work—but absolutely does.

From coast to coast and across the Atlantic — we're invading a city near you.
Questions?
First decide whether your work fits the Artist (wall pieces) or Vendor (table) category. Then submit the application.
There's no cost to apply. We just need basic info and a link where we can see examples of your work — site, Instagram, TikTok, Google Drive, whatever you've got.
No link? Email photos to info@pancakesandbooze.com.
Two ways to participate:
Not allowed: selling prints from tables if they exceed 8×11 in. Anything bigger goes on the wall (as an artist) or in a small box on the floor under your work.
Got both kinds of work? Submit both applications — each has its own fee and load-in schedule.
One flat hanging fee per piece, paid at registration. Pricing varies by city — see the full price chart.
WE TAKE NO COMMISSION. Once you've covered your hanging fees, you keep 100% of every sale.
No fixed deadline. We accept applications until the room fills. The earlier you lock your space, the better.
The application only needs basic info and prior examples of your work. You can decide which pieces to bring later, when you're ready to pay the hanging fees.
Minimum 2, maximum 10.
Your work hangs salon-style on 8×4 ft panels built for the show. Salon-style means we use every inch of wall from floor to ceiling. Check our Instagram Reels to see the install.
Space depends on the size of your pieces and how many you hang. In some cases you'll share the wall with another artist.
Each piece must not exceed 36×36 in (3×3 ft).
Wall panels are 8×4 ft. To leave room for title cards, lighting, and cabling, the max size the wall can fit is 36×36 in.
Yes — place prints, stickers, pins, and small items in bins on the floor beneath your displayed work. No tables in the gallery area though — those are reserved for vendors.
Installation is typically day-of between 1–5 PM. Artwork must be removed immediately after the show ends — no exceptions. Exact times come in your pre-event email.
Yes to both. Gallery walls and lighting are provided, along with hanging tools (screws, screw guns). Wire your pieces if you can, but stretched canvas works without it. No hammers or nails allowed.
Yes — you're on the guest list. Everyone else (including assistants) pays the cover. We offer discounted pre-sale tickets up to a week before, so tell your crew to grab those.
If you sell goods from a table (jewelry, clothing, sculpture, candles, etc.), submit the application and select "Vendor."
No cost to apply. Just basic info and a link to what you plan to sell.
If you're hanging on the wall (canvases, photography, prints), this isn't for you — check the Artists tab.
Vendor fees vary by city — typically $75–$150. See the full price chart for your market.
Submit your application and we'll send the full info.
Once accepted, we send you a payment link. Payment is due as soon as the link arrives — wait too long and you risk losing your spot.
Vendor spots are limited and in demand, so WE DO NOT HOLD SPACES until payment is received.
Bring your own table and chairs. We provide the floor space.
Ambient light is on at the venue, but bring your own lighting and extension cords.
Each Vendor space fits ONE 6 ft table. Allotted space is roughly 8×5 ft.
Allowed: art, sculpture, crafts, jewelry, clothing, candles, accessories, small prints.
Not allowed: beverages, cigarettes, cannabis products, smoking accessories, food that requires on-site cooking, weapons, or non-art products / advertising.
Prints, photos, or original paintings are only allowed at vendor tables if they're under 8×11 in each.
No fixed deadline. We accept applications until vendor spots are gone.
Vendor spots fill fast — they're limited and in demand. Sooner is better.
Once accepted and paid, you'll get the load-in schedule. Setup is usually 2 hours before the show starts, but we'll confirm closer to the date.
Spaces are first-come, first-served. Be on time.
We welcome any exhibiting artist to live-paint during the show. It's a great way to draw attention to your work and network during the night.
No cost to live paint, but you must be an exhibiting artist who's already been accepted.
For body painting, reach out directly at info@pancakesandbooze.com with your portfolio.
Yes — bring an easel, a chair, and a drop cloth. We'll give you a corner of the gallery to work from.
If you're body painting, your model gets in free.
