Artist Alley Registration Information

Japan Fiesta's Artist Alley is for local amateur and professional artists who want to sell or promote their own creations. Illustrations, crafts, cosplay items, and portraits are all welcome, as long as they are created by you. No commercial goods are allowed in the Artist Alley. This is a great opportunity to showcase and promote your artwork to the local community. Your artwork does not have to be in a Japanese pop culture style. If you think Japan Fiesta is the right place to sell or show your artwork, we welcome you! Let's meet fellow artists and be part of this wonderful festival!

Japan Fiesta Artist Alley Registration Terms and Conditions

By registering for a Japan Fiesta Artist Alley, you are agreeing to abide by all these Terms and Conditions.

A Japan Fiesta Artist Alley is for local indie artists who want to sell their own creations such as art prints, charms, crafts, etc. Commercial goods are strictly prohibited. If you want to sell commercial items please book a commercial booth. The Japan Fiesta Committee reserves the right to require immediate removal of items from the event, at its discretion, if they appear to be commercial goods or illegal items.

Japan Fiesta is a family-friendly event. Adult items are allowed providing those items do not breach NZ law or Censorship standards. You must ensure your displayed work is suitable for all ages. 

Please keep your area as clean and tidy as possible. Be mindful of your neighbour artists. Abusive or violent behaviour shall not be tolerated.

Please do not place items in front of, or otherwise block, the fire exits. Weapons, dangerous goods, and non-service animals are prohibited. 

Any damage done by you to the table, table space and the venue during Japan Fiesta, any associated repair costs, and consequential financial loss to the venue management/Japan Fiesta NZ Committee, are your responsibility.

Drugs, alcohol, smoking and vaping are all forbidden at the venue at all times. Absolutely no flames, naked or contained, are allowed. In case of fire, evacuation should be commenced. Please exit the building immediately using the nearest Fire Exit, and/or follow the fire warden’s and security staff’s instructions.

Make sure your table set-up doesn’t raise any health and safety issues. As a requirement of entry to Japan Fiesta, all artists and associates must have read and understood the ‘Japan Fiesta Health and Safety Plan’ which shall be provided at least one month before Japan Fiesta. 

While care is taken to keep artists and their property safe, the Japan Fiesta Committee takes no responsibility for lost or stolen property. Any transactions made between Artists and Customers are entirely the responsibility of said parties, not the Japan Fiesta NZ Committee.

Breaches of the above requirements may result in an Artist’s Registration being cancelled. If the Japan Fiesta NZ Committee cancels the Artist’s Registration under this clause it shall not be liable to pay the Artist any compensation for loss or damage and will have no further legal obligations with respect to the Artist.

Registration Cancellation

To eliminate registrations solely intended for securing a spot, cancellations are not allowed after purchasing a store space. Cancellations (with a full refund) are only possible in the following situation:

- All tables are fully booked, and there are potential exhibitors on the waiting list who are interested in taking the cancelled spot.

Limitation of Liability

The Japan Fiesta NZ Committee shall not be held liable for any failure to perform its obligations under the Japan Fiesta Artist Terms and Conditions where such failure is due to circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Japan Fiesta NZ Committee.

Without limiting any exclusion of the Japan Fiesta Committee’s liability under the Japan Fiesta Artist Terms and Conditions, the Japan Fiesta Committee’s maximum aggregate liability shall not exceed the total amount payable by the Licensee in respect of the Registration fee.

The Japan Fiesta Committee shall not be held liable for any loss of profits or any consequential, indirect or special loss, damage or injury of any kind whatsoever suffered by the Licensee arising directly or indirectly from any breach of any of the Japan Fiesta Committee’s obligations under or in connection with this registration or from any cancellation of this registration or from any negligence, misrepresentation or other act or omission on the part of the Japan Fiesta Committee, its employees, agents, volunteers or contractors. 

The Japan Fiesta NZ Committee shall not be held responsible for any Copyright and/or Trademark infringements made by registered Artists, anyone sharing their Table, or anyone they may sell items on behalf of. Any legal action that may result from copyright and/or trademark infringement is the sole responsibility of the Artist. By registering you agree to legally indemnify The Japan Fiesta NZ Committee and Japan Daisuki Ltd against any such legal action.
