This includes garage sale signs. Even if you don't live in Dallas, it is likely that your city has a similar rule. OTHER INFORMATION If you were assigned a booth that has a price lower than what you paid us, we will give you a refund check on the weekend of the Art Mart to compensate you for the overpayment. Unfortunately, the layout of the booth cannot be altered after the committee has assigned locations for the artists. If you were given a space that is not to your satisfaction, you may opt out of the event by contacting the Bath House Cultural Center immediately, and we will assign the booth space to another artist. We hope that you are happy with your booth location and that you enjoy your experience with the Art Mart. Please let me know if you have any questions.
