Artisan Application

Artisan Application Form

The moment you step through the gates of the Sterling Renaissance Festival, the 21st Century life as we know it vanishes into the cool wooded landscape and the transition to the year 1585, and to the place of Warwick, England, begins. Visitors enter a Renaissance world of discovery and adventure, a place of pleasure, creativity, laughter and enchantment.

The Festival's Artisan Program is well known for its diversity and high quality. Artisans come from all over the country to participate in the Festival, bringing with them a multitude of talents and skills, many having won awards for their creations.

Note: The responsible party known as the “Artisan” will be considered the sole contact for negotiations and decisions. The Artisan will handle all fees and contractual arrangements. The Artisan must be the owner or partner of the business and must be present on all weekends.
