     A. "Artist" is defined as an independent artist, a cooperative, an artist sponsored by an individual, a nonprofit with or without an artist, or a business with or without an artist who exhibits at the International Folk Art Market in Santa Fe (hereinafter referred to as "IFAM").

     B. "Folk Art Product" is defined as the Artist's work as submitted in their IFAM Application (and as described in #5), and then referred to simply as "Product(s)" throughout the rest of the Agreement.

The purpose of this Agreement is to create and define the relationship between IFAA and the Artist for the Artist's participation in the IFAA's International Folk Art Market on July 6-10, 2022 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Artist has been selected by the IFAA to participate in the IFAM in exchange for the Artist's performance of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

The term of this Agreement is January 15, 2022 through August 31, 2022.

Artist agrees to pay directly the following fees and expenses for participation in the IFAM:

     A. Booth and rental fees; all Artist travel expenses including airfare, ground transportation, lodging, meals, passport and VISA fees; shipping, customs clearance, and duty fees for Artist's Products.

     B. If Artist is attending IFAM for the second time or more, IFAA will retain 20% of Gross Sales of Artist's Products to be applied to IFAM-related expenses such as marketing, promotion, infrastructure, and administration. If the Artist sells less than $10,000 in gross sales at the IFAM, IFAA will retain 10% of the gross sales of Artist's Products.

     C. If Artist is attending IFAM for the first time, IFAA will retain 10% of gross sales of Artist's Products to be applied to IFAM-related expenses such as marketing, promotion, infrastructure, and administration.

     A. Prior to the opening of the IFAM, the IFAM Standards Committee will visit Artist's booth to confirm that the Artist has complied with their Conditions of Acceptance.

     B. Any Product that does not comply with the Artist's Conditions of Acceptance can be removed from Artist's booth by the IFAM Standards Committee.

     C. Failure to comply with any requests made by the IFAM Standards Committee may result in the closure of Artist's booth and the forfeiture of Artist's booth fee. Artist may also be prohibited from applying for future folk art markets produced by the IFAA.

     D. Artist may not sell or provide for consignment any Products within a 500 mile radius of Santa Fe, NM for 90 days prior to the IFAM. If Products are currently available for sale within this region, Artist must notify Nadia Hamid (nadia@folkartmarket.org) by April 30, 2022 (for the Santa Fe Market). This requirement will be strictly enforced.

IFAA requires that the Artist donate a Product(s) with a suggested retail value of US $200 (wholesale value of US $100) to be sold in IFAM's "Best of the Best" fundraising booth. Proceeds from the sale of the Product(s) will be used to support the operations of the IFAA. Artist agrees to authorize a specially-designated IFAM committee member to visit Artist's booth before the opening of the IFAM and select a Product(s) totaling US $200 suggested retail value (wholesale value of US $100) for the "Best of the Best" booth.

IFAA handles all sales of Artist Products. Trained IFAM volunteers will be assigned to Artist's booths to write up sales slips for all Product sales. Customers will pay for their purchases at centrally located IFAM Pay Stations. IFAA will accept cash, checks and credit card/debit card payments on behalf of the Artist. IFAA will deduct a 2% bank services fee for all Artist Product sales purchased via credit card or debit card. IFAA will collect gross receipts tax and pay the proceeds to applicable agencies.

Product sales processed by the IFAA will be reconciled with the Artist during an appointment with the IFAM staff on Monday July 11^th, 2022 or Tuesday July 12^th, 2022. At that time, Artist's sales records will be compared with sales totals determined by the IFAM Pay Stations to resolve identified discrepancies. Any outstanding fees that Artist owes to IFAA, including booth rental, airfare, ground transportation, lodging, meals, shipping, customs clearance, wire fees, and duty fees will be deducted from Artist Product sales. IFAA reserves the right to withhold up to $2,500 (based on anticipated charges) from Artist's Product Sales for any outstanding fees incurred by Artist. Any unused amount will be returned to artist after outstanding fees have been resolved (example: pending customs/duty bills).

Artist agrees to fill out an IFAM Payment Information Form stating the preferred payment method for sales of Artist Products processed by IFAA during the IFAM. Once Artist has paid IFAA all fees required under this Agreement, IFAA will send the remaining funds to Artist as indicated on the Payment Information Form.

The Artist expressly understands, covenants and agrees that the Artist is not an employee of IFAA and that IFAA does not intend to and has not, pursuant to this Agreement, entered into a relationship of employer and employee with the Artist. As such, IFAA shall have no duty, liability or obligation to the Artist concerning their participation in any retirement plans, welfare plans, sick pay plans, vacation pay plans or other benefits or bonuses unless provided for hereunder. Further, Artist understands, covenants and agrees that IFAA shall have no obligation, duty or liability to withhold or pay federal or state income taxes, FICA or federal or state unemployment taxes in connection with any amounts paid by IFAA to the Artist other than the Gross Receipts Tax referenced above.

Artist hereby promises to defend and hold IFAA harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, fines, penalties, interest, cost and expenses resulting from any claims, demands, judgments, settlements, suits, actions, causes of action and other matters which arise out of or in connection with the Artist's performance of services during the term of this Agreement and the breach by Artist of any covenants set forth in this Agreement.
