get involved with our spring craft show!

Crafty Supermarket is a magical event: Dozens of handmade vendors come from just a few minutes away or a few states away to show their best work to thousands of shoppers. To help us make the craft show the best it can be, we enlist volunteers and work with sponsors — and here’s how you can get involved:

Volunteering

At our spring show on April 25 at the Clifton Cultural Arts Center, we have a couple of opportunities for people to help out. (And when you assist us for a couple hours, you’ll get one of our famous swag bags!) Volunteers can choose to do any of the following things: help shoppers know where everything is, assist vendors who need a break, help load in at the beginning of the day or clean up at the end of the day. You can learn more and submit your info here. We’ll get back to you a few weeks before the show with the schedule. (Note that we sometimes get more volunteer applications than we can take, but we’ll get back to you either way!)

Parnerships

We work with all kinds of local organizations who love handmade and want to help spread the word. From arts nonprofits and landmark institutions to DIY shops and enterprises, if you support the maker movement, we’d love to work with you! Learn more about partnership opportunities here and don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have an idea of how we can work together!

our super-awesome vendors are getting super-awesome awards!

We’re working with Cincinnati Magazine to award four outstanding vendors for awesomeness at our big indie craft show on Saturday, Nov. 29. (They highlighted five great vendors to look for already!) Tamia Stinson, a stylist and blogger for Cincinnati Magazine, will be evaluating our holiday show vendors to select winners for these categories:

  • Best Display: Who’s got the most awesome booth?
  • Best Products: Who’s got the most remarkable products for sale at the show?
  • Best Newbie: Which of the 30 new vendors at our show is the raddest?
  • and then the audience will vote for the People’s Choice!

You’ll be able to identify the winners by the amazing prize ribbons created by Abby Langdon! You can cast your vote for People’s Choice by filling out a ballot at the Cincinnati Magazine booth before 4 p.m. on Saturday. We’ll announce the People’s Choice winner before the end of the show, and you just might see all the winners on CincinnatiMagazine.com very soon.

Remember to RSVP for Crafty Supermarket on Facebook and invite all your friends, and we’ll see you on Saturday!

great eats at our big show

Buying handmade can really give you an appetite! Lucky for you, we’ve got a bunch of great food vendors who will be at our craft show on Nov. 29 at the Music Hall Ballroom.

In addition to the food trucks outside and food vendors inside, we’ll have a cash bar so you can grab a soda or a mimosa while you shop!

Inside food vendors:

  • Baking You Happy: Cupcakes baked like a boss.
  • Dojo Gelato: Doesn’t matter if it’s cold outside: Every season is gelato season.
  • La Terza Coffee: Our man Chuck brews a great cup of coffee.
  • Plus two food-as-craft vendors who will be selling packaged goodies for you to give (or eat, we won’t judge): sweet little desserts by Brown Bear Bakery and fine chocolate gifts by Chocolats Latour

Outside food vendors:
