• How your items fit within the overall vision of Craft Fest: handmade, local, high quality, affordable.
• The overall cohesiveness and consistency of your work.
• How your items are represented on your website.
• For returning vendors, we pay close attention to how your work has progressed since participating in, or applying to, past Craft Fests. We’re looking to see whether you’ve produced new items or designs, so we can keep Craft Fest fresh and exciting for shoppers. Past vendors are not guaranteed a spot at subsequent Craft Fests.
• The number and diversity of designs or products you offer. We seek makers offering a well-cultivated line of goods, or who specialize in one type of product offered in a variety of styles.
• If the average price of your items falls inside what is typical at Craft Fest. We pride ourselves on being an affordable marketplace for handmade goods with prices typically ranging between $1-$200.
• Our need to diversify the crafts available at Craft Fest. We have limited space available and as a result will only be able to take a certain number of vendors from each category, i.e. art, women’s/men’s clothing and accessories, children’s clothing and accessories, bath and body, paper goods, ceramics, jewelry, housewares, and artisanal foods (see additional info for food vendors).

Your fee pays for your table rental and two chairs. In addition, everyone will receive an icon and link on our website. Participants who supply us with high quality images and information may also be featured on our social media accounts leading up to and during the fair. Once you have paid your table fee, you will be sent an information checklist that includes items to provide, like high resolution images (72ppi).

We always advertise and promote Craft Fest and draw hundreds of attendees to the event who will see your work in person. This often turns into other opportunities, including future sales, wholesale opportunities, media exposure, networking, and more.

To be considerate and fair to all vendors, we offer everyone the same amount of display space in the gallery. This includes the 6' width and 30” depth of the table, plus a few feet behind the table for vendors to sit/stand. There is 2' on either side of each table for ingress/egress that is shared with fellow vendors; it cannot be dedicated to just one vendor. We require that the space in front of all tables remains clear for visitors to circulate in the bustling gallery space. Vendors may bring displays to put on top of their tables and are responsible for supplying their own display items. Displays cannot hang on the walls or impede safe foot traffic.

Wi-Fi and electrical outlets are available for free. However, we need to know if you will need an outlet for your products in advance to design the floorplan accordingly.
