Our annual Holiday Artisan Market is limited to 10 vendors. We carefully select each vendor by reviewing the submission information and reaching out to those who meet our criteria.

- Are local artisans! Some of the best talent is right in our back yard!
- Are eager to sell their artwork to viewers and collectors.
- Conduct themselves professionally and timely in business practices.

- Are actively engaged on social media to aid in the promotion, marketing and sales of their work, both before and during the market.
- Are willing to reach out to their own collectors, family, friends and mailing lists to promote the market.
- Have an online presence for their work with business cards or other materials as a take-away for viewers and collectors.
- Are prepared with a number of quality works in order to have a successful market.
- Must be on time with supplying necessary information, setup and teardown.
- Must be able to process payments via card/cash for their products at the event.

- Understand that artwork is FUN work!
What you can expect:
- FUN! Shoppers are excited for the holidays and we are a big fan of fun!
- A small market. No one likes overcrowded shopping venues during the holidays. We are a smaller venue and limit our markets to about 10 vendors. We strive to not schedule multiple vendors featuring similar products as to not have competition.
- Makers will pay ZERO commission fees! A $30 booth fee will be required from accepted makers to aid in paid promotion of the market.
- Each maker will have a 6′ table and chair as well as 6-8′ of wall hanging space (if needed). All other necessary items should be provided by the maker.
- A few weeks prior to the market, accepted makers will be asked to send a brief statement of their items as well as 5-6 images to aid in market promotion.
- Each vendor is expected to help promote the market. Our goal is a fun and successful market for all!
- Each vendor is expected to arrive to setup on time and stay at the market attending their space for the duration of the market. No early tear-down is allowed. No refund of the $30 booth fee for cancellations.
- Each maker will be responsible for running all of their own sales and have the option for a card transaction. Each maker is responsible for collecting and paying any applicable taxes and fees on their own behalf.
- Makers should have products in the general consumer gift giving price range of about $15-50 as an average.
- If for some reason we can not confirm the necessary number of vendors to hold the market within 2 weeks of the market date, the event will be cancelled and all booth fees will be returned.
