San Diego EarthWorks invites local artists and craftspeople to exhibit their earth-friendly works at the 31st EarthFair on Sunday, April 24, 2022 – the world’s largest free annual environmental fair and Earth Day celebration! It is a great opportunity to expose thousands of San Diegans to your ingenious use of materials and love for our natural environment.

Who May Participate?

The Gallery is only open to individual San Diego residents who do not operate a commercial retail store, and are showing their own works.

We restrict the show to arts and crafts that generally relates to, or delivers a message that pertains to, creating and supporting a clean, healthy environment.

All craft items sold must have a positive environmental attribute (e.g., made from natural, recycled or repurposed materials, organically-grown fabrics, etc.).

    We encourage the display of arts and crafts made from recycled, reused, or waste materials; or art representing depicting "endangered" natural resources in San Diego County. The work may relate to the environment in other ways, but some reasonable connection is required.

Where and When Does The Show Take Place?

    The show takes place at EarthFair 2022 on Sunday, April 24, 2022, from 10am - 5pm. Setup is from 8:00am to 9:00am. (The police will close the roads to vehicles promptly at 9:00am; they will remain closed until the end of the fair – so don't be late!)

    The eARTh Gallery is located on the lawn area off Presidents Way, adjacent to Park Blvd. This is close to our food area and an entertainment stage. (click here to see a map)

What is the Show Space Like?

    The eARTh Gallery takes place on a lawn area, the field at Park Blvd. and Presidents Way. EarthWorks will provide each exhibitor with a 10' x 10' space, an 8' table and 2 chairs; exhibitors should bring any additional display materials that they will need.

What does it cost to participate? Can I Sell?

    Those wishing to sell pay a fee of $80 (paid prior to the event), plus 10% of their gross sales (payable by April 28).Those wishing only to show their works and NOT sell them pay a $60 fee prior to the event.

    If you need more than one 10' x 10'space, additional tables with space are available for $60 each. Please contact EarthWorks directly if you have any special or unusual requirements.

    All organizations that sell must file a sales report wihin one week following EarthFair, and must submit their sales fee, if any, at that time.
