vendor application faq

Our markets are carefully curated and each vendor must fill out an application. Applications will open for a limited window for each event. Application dates will be announced on our website, and social media. Table spaces are 2.5ft x 6ft. Vendors must bring their own tables. 

Be sure to fill out the application form completely. Any application missing info or photos will immediately be discarded.

We will only send out approved vendor notifications after the application window has closed. 

We are searching for unique, HIGH QUALITY vendors and looking to showcase artists, creators and makers whose work is spooky, dark, witchy, creepy, strange and macabre. Vendors are selected based on the quality of their work, how well it fits the theme of our event, and variety. 

Considerations include: quality, innovation and uniqueness of wares; overall theme of your work; how your items are represented in your photos. We strive to curate a wide selection of vendors so some categories of wares may be more competitive. 

We have an intense curation process for applicants. Please read these tips carefully.

• Submit High Quality Photos. The images you provide will be used for promotion and should show your products clearly.
• We only accept image files in the application. Please don't send images in a PDF or Word document.
• No photos = no consideration as a vendor
• You must have an online web presence. It is strongly encouraged that you have  social media accounts (esp. Instagram and/or Facebook).
• Include a short, well written statement/description of your business written in third person for marketing purposes.
• Make sure you list and send photos of every category of item you will be selling at the market. (Example, if you sell bath products but also jewelry, please list that on the application and provide photos).

No, we're very sorry but you'll need to wait until applications open for future events. We will not respond to any unsolicited emails for vending outside of our application window.

All of our market events are curated by a juried team. The selection criteria are:

• Quality of work
• Variety of mediums 
• Uniqueness of work
• potential vendors must be on theme with the criteria of the market
• Professional and well-maintained websites + social media
• well-established and new vendors

We will send out payment information with acceptance emails. Please be professional and sure to pay your fee by the due date. We don't want to have to chase anyone down for payment. 

Cancellation policy: Please note that the booth fee is nonrefundable.

We receive an overwhelming amount applications and we just simply cannot respond to everyone. 

If you were not sent an acceptance email, don't  be discouraged! We often receive more applications than we have tables available. If you were not accepted we have added to our waitlist and you may be contacted in the case of a vendor cancellation. We also encourage you to apply again for future events. Each market is curated to fit its  theme and varies in size.
