Vendor FAQ

Do I qualify to apply?

We require that all artwork sold at the event be original, designed by, and made by the artist. The artist must be in attendance to sell their wares. Please review our policies here before applying.

We also accept applications from vendors specializing in all things vintage, antique, re-purposed, and upcycled. To us, vintage means at least 20+ years old.

Our food category is for goods intended to be consumed at home. If you are interested in being a food truck or cart for goods consumed onsite, please email katrine@tinyrhinoproductions.com.

How do I apply?

Vendor applications are available online. Join our email list to be notified when the application opens.

Applications for fall and winter 2025 events will open on July 1, 2025 with applications due August 1, 2025.

Applications for spring and summer 2026 events will open on January 1, 2026 with applications due February 1, 2026.

Applications are $25 and non-refundable.

How are vendors selected?

When reviewing applications, we consider the following factors -

1. You use high-quality materials with expert craftsmanship, creating work that’s built to last and is market-ready.

2. Your work, branding, and packaging are thoughtful, intentional, and unmistakably your own.

3. Your work is designed and/or handmade by you.

   The ideal vintage vendor knows themselves, their product, their customers, and has a unique aesthetic.

4. We aim to offer shoppers a wide variety of goods, so we limit the number of vendors with very similar products.

I missed the deadline, can I still apply?

Typically no. The wait list is actually made up of vendors who applied by the deadline and have been identified as a good fit, but for one reason or another, we simply do not have space. If space is available for any given fair, a deadline might be extended. Please join our mailing list to receive reminders of such.

Can I share a booth?

Yes, you may share a booth with another vendor if you apply together. Make sure that it is clear that there are two people/businesses applying under one application. There will need to be a main contact designated and all payments must be made at one time from one source.

If selected, what is included in my partication?

• Selected booth space (think blank slate) to curate and sell your wares in

• Profile on our website with links to your online shop and social media

• Social Media feature with links to your social media

• Newsletter feature with links to your online shop and social media

How are the events promoted?

With thousands attending each year and an even larger online following, Indie Craft Experience draws enthusiastic shoppers who are excited to discover your work!

Our advertising approach varies by event, but we consistently distribute a press release to all major local media outlets. We're also big fans of guerrilla marketing—think posters, postcards, and plenty of social media buzz.

We strongly encourage our vendors to help spread the word! If you’d like to hang posters in your community or promote the event across your social networks, go for it—we appreciate and welcome the support.
