    The Novelty Collective 2025 Music & Arts Festival — Artist • Maker • Vendor Application

    Thank you for your interest in participating in The Novelty Collective’s Ninth annual Music & Arts Festival! Please read through & consider the following information before you submit the form, & do not hesitate to contact us with any questions that may arise while you are working through it. We will notify you as soon as decisions about applications have been finalized.

  • NoCo Fest 2025 will take place at The COVE Art Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on the evening of Friday, November 21, & all-day Saturday, November 22.

    Artist booths at The COVE will be stationed in the atrium & inside our six, ground-level studio spaces. Additional booths may be located in our second stage area. We will have tables, chairs, & other optional display items available for you to use in all locations.

    Attending & vending for the entire festival is highly encouraged, not to mention a major consideration in our application selection process!

    We are requesting a $30 table donation from all vendors; if you are unable to pay before the start of the festival, consider giving out of your earnings over the course of the weekend.

    If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas to share, please contact us by emailing contact@thenoveltycollective.org. One of our event coordinators will answer your inquiry as soon as possible.

    The application deadline is August 31st, 2025.

  • Load-In & Lodging

  • The Novelty Collective Music & Arts Festival has historically featured artists from all over the country, & we recognize that finding a place to stay in Pittsburgh can often be a challenge. We offer limited lodging at Home of the Nomad (our artist residence directly adjacent to The COVE Art Center), & we are looking into other housing solutions for all our out-of-towners.
