Hilton has garnered a reputation of being
the top spot for visual artists in KZN. All applications will be considered by
a selection committee and successful artists will be housed in three exclusive
marquees as well as in the Grindrod Bank Theatre foyer. Places are limited so
as to avoid over trading and overcrowding in these exhibition areas.
The Festival hosts a quality bespoke craft
market that prides itself in not being a flea market. Apply now for a stand if
you sell homemade goods and foodstuffs, vintage goods, fun festival fare,
plants or something original and exciting.
