To qualify for participation, vendors must reside within the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia), and sell hand-crafted artisan goods and/or original art. For our events, we seek quality products primarily within the categories of Art, Wellness (bath, beauty, skin care, candles, etc.), Clothing & Accessories, Home Goods & Decor, Jewelry, Products for Babies & Kids, Pet Accessories, Paper Products & Stationery, and Artisan Gourmet Food & Drink products.

We work hard to ensure that each market has a good balance of diversity in products, price points and returning/new vendors. We carefully review all applications and look at pictures and social media handles, so please provide us as much information as possible to help us evaluate your application.

You are welcome to apply to as many of the event dates as you'd like. However, please note that we receive a very large number of applications and there are a limited number of vendor spaces available. Given the high demand and our goal to diversify, if accepted, most applicants will only be offered a single event date. Therefore, we recommend flexibility in applying for multiple dates in the case we can't accommodate your first choice. Please note that if you only apply for one date, there is no guarantee of acceptance.

To be considered, you must complete and submit this application no later than , Wednesday, July 8. We will not consider any incomplete applications or any submitted after the July 8th deadline. Notification emails will be sent by, Friday, July 24th.
