how to get involved with our holiday craft show

vote for cincinnati’s visualingual!

Visualingual, a local design duo that has sold at a couple Crafty Supermarkets, needs your help!

We are thrilled and honored to announce that we’re in the running for the American Made Awards presented by Martha Stewart Omnimedia. Out of 2000 entries, we are among 100 finalists, and now the public gets to decide the winner. Our competition is stiff, and we need your help. Please cast your vote today and every day through 24 Sep.

Why should you vote for us? Well, because we want to win! If you have a few minutes, I’d like to tell you a bit about us and our journey thus far. The winner will receive a feature in Martha Stewart Living, a trip to NYC to participate in an artisanal fair at Grand Central Terminal and, most importantly, $10,000 for business development. In our case, we are currently looking for a larger, better studio space, and we’re trying to stay in Over-the-Rhine, where we’ve been based since moving to Cincinnati 6 years ago.

If you want to help them out, vote on the American Made site every day until Sept. 24!

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!
