Registration & Hospitality Table
Registration will open at 7:30am on Sunday morning. Enclosed in your registration packet you will find: your Booth Placard, your show Name Tag(s), a parking pass, an ART ON THE SQUARE program, an Artist Survey and a Virginia Temporary Sales Tax form. We ask that at the end of the day you return your Name Tags (so we can recycle them) and the completed Artist Survey to the JWCW Registration Tent. Your feedback in the past has helped us improve the quality of our show.

A hospitality table with breakfast foods, coffee and drinks will also be available for exhibitors located at the JWCW Registration Tent. Cold drinks are available for exhibitors during the day (as supplies last).

Lunches
For artists that preordered lunch, your lunch will be delivered by a member of the Junior Woman’s Club. If you are unsure if you preordered lunch, look on the outside of your Registration Packet. Any lunches you preordered, as well as your menu selections, will be printed underneath your name on your packet. Also, we have your name and lunch order on record.

If you will need to purchase lunch during the show please call in your order so you are not taken away from your booth for an extended period of time. 

Location of ATM Machines
There is one ATM machine located near Merchants Square. It’s located inside the Barnes & Noble Bookstore on the first floor. The Bookstore opens at 9a.m. on Sunday. There is also an ATM machine located on the southeast corner of Duke of Gloucester Street & Henry Street, outside the same building as the Colonial Williamsburg Ticket Office.

Restrooms
Public restrooms are located on the southeast corner of Duke of Gloucester Street & Henry Street, in the same building as the Colonial Williamsburg Ticket Office. There will be Junior Woman’s Club members walking around throughout the show. For artists that are working the show alone and in need of a bathroom break, please find a Junior woman. She may sit at your booth while you’re away, but for no more than 15 minutes. We’re happy to help you!

Parking
A parking pass will be included in your registration packet. Please be sure to display it on the dashboard of your vehicle at all times. Parking is not allowed on Henry Street. All vehicles must be moved to the permanent parking area after unloading (see map). Access to this lot is gained through Grigsby Drive. From the site of the show on Duke of Gloucester and North Boundary, follow South Boundary past Berrett’s Restaurant and turn right onto Grigsby. This is a one way road that circles the Plant facility and leads directly into the large parking lot at the bottom of the hill. Look for signs directing you to the lot.
