our spring vendors are super awesome!

You’ve been waiting to find out who’s going to be at our spring show, and we spent days going through the applications to select the 50 crafters. And finally you can see the vendor list here! Our spring crafters represent eight states, coming from as far away as New York and North Carolina, and more than a third of them are new to our show! Including Half Hazard Press, whose poster for OK Go is above, and Stephanie Raab, who made the cute gift tags below, jewelry maker tree trunk arts and ceramicist Meagan Martin: Want to do more than just shop at our spring craft show? You can help us out as a volunteer or a sponsor!

spring show vendor apps are closed!

Applications for the Crafty Supermarket spring craft show are now closed! We will let everyone who applied know about their acceptance status by March 15.

Accepted crafters will have until April 1 to pay their table fee. If you don’t pay your table fee by April 1, we’ll offer the space to another crafter who applied before the deadline.

I missed the deadline! Can I still apply?

We get more applications for the show than we can accept, so we can’t allow any late applications out of fairness to crafters who applied before the deadline. If a spot opens up from a vendor being unable to attend the show, we select alternates from the 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. We broadcast our upcoming opportunities in all those places! Applications for our holiday show on Nov. 28 will open in July.
