crafter applications are now closed

Applications for the holiday Crafty Supermarket show are now closed! We’ll notify everybody who applied of their status by Sept. 16. If you’re accepted, you’ll have until Oct. 1 to pay the remainder of the table fee — $85. If you don’t submit your table fee by Oct. 1, we’ll offer the space to another crafter.

I missed the deadline! Can I still apply?

We get way more applications for the show than we can accept, so we can’t allow any late applications out of fairness to those crafters. If a spot opens up from a vendor being unable to attend the show, we select alternates from the pool of people who applied before the deadline. If you want to apply to be in our next show, be sure to follow us here on the website, on Facebook or via our e-newsletter, which you can sign up for in the upper right corner of this site. We broadcast our upcoming opportunities in all those places!
