Guidelines: What We Look For

Welcome! Our market focuses on celebrating local small businesses and creating an accessible space for new makers.

We want to help your business grow, so we do not have a rigorous jury process. Instead, we accept applicants on a rolling basis until full. However, to keep our market authentic for shoppers, we ask that all vendors meet our 80% Handmade Policy.

Here is what that means for your application:

What We Welcome

At least 80% of the items on your table must be designed, created, or significantly altered by you. We love to see:

  • Hand-Crafted Goods: Ceramics, woodworking, hand-poured candles, fiber arts, glass and mosaics. 

  • Original Artwork & Designs: Original paintings, illustrations, or photography. Prints, stickers, and stationery are accepted only if they feature your own original artwork.

  • Original Prints & Stationery: Stickers, pins, and art prints featuring your own 100% original designs.

  • Hand-Assembled Goods: Jewelry, accessories, or curated gift sets that show a high level of original design and assembly by the maker.If you use manufactured components—like jewelry chains, blank tote bags, or clothing blanks—the final product must feature your own original artwork, embroidery, screen-printing, or hand-assembly

  • Artisan Food & Apothecary: Small-batch soaps, skincare, locally made baked goods, hot sauces, jams, spice blends, and confections. All food vendors must comply with local food laws or health department permits.

The Gray Area (Accepted with Disclosures)

We understand that modern craft involves digital and external tools. We accept the following, provided you own the intellectual property:

  • Production Assistance: Using third-party printers for your apparel, enamel pins, or stationery, provided the artwork is 100% yours.

  • Digital Crafting: 3D-printed or laser-cut items are allowed only if you designed the digital blueprints or models from scratch.

  • Upcycled Goods: Items made from altered vintage or secondhand materials must show a significant artistic transformation.

What is Not Allowed

To keep our market fair to local creators, we strictly prohibit:

  • Buy-Resell: Buying mass-produced, finished goods from wholesale sites (like AliExpress, Temu, or Amazon) and reselling them as-is.

  • Direct-Sales & MLMs: Products from multi-level marketing companies (e.g., Tupperware, Scentsy).

  • Commercial Kits & Direct Copies: Assembling pre-made craft kits or directly copying another artist’s copyrighted work

  • AI We allow no products made by AI

New to Markets? You are in the right place!

We just ask for a few clear information of what you make so we can ensure a great mix of vendors. If you need booth setup advice or have questions, just ask—we are here to help you get started!
