Before you apply.. please read all the info!
How do I apply?
Our application link is at the top and bottom of this page. Applications for the Market will open on June 1st and will close on July 31st at midnight. You must apply using our online application on this site during that two-month time period. No late applications will be accepted under any circumstance. If you wish to be notified of future shows and applications you can sign up for our mailing list at the bottom of our home page.
What criteria and qualifications do you look for in applications?
Our market is juried by select members of our staff and other individuals in the local Makers scene, whose opinions and values we value and trust. Together we review the pool of applications thoroughly and hand pick the artists that are the best fit for PMM. A high priority will always be given to the most innovative, emergent, and unique do-it-yourself driven artists that have imaginative products. We work hard to find vendors that are fresh and offer current trends. We thoughtfully and carefully choose applicants based on a number of criteria, listed below.
How big are the booth spaces? What are the fees?
There is a $5 non-refundable application fee due along with your application. If you are not accepted to the show, this fee will not be refunded. We charge this fee to cover the costs and time commitment associated with the application process. In the event of multiple cancellations, your application will be reviewed again and no additional application fee is required.
Your application will not be considered until the application fee is paid via PayPal(link will be in the application). The full booth fee will be due after acceptance.
We do not provide tents, tables, or chairs. Please bring your own tables, chairs, and tents(if needed). If you need electricity, please state it in the "comments" section of the application. The pavilion has limited outlets and won’t be able to provide the tent spaces with electricity. We encourage as elaborate of a setup and decor as you can accommodate as it helps to create a more vibrant experience and increases individual sales to have an attractive display. We require vendors to remain set up for the full event hours, 10 am to 4pm. Closing early or leaving late without an advance prior notice may disqualify your business from future participation.
Can I cancel my application or booth reservation at any time?
Please only apply if you are sure you can participate on the day of the show, Saturday, September 8th. You may cancel your reservation up until the booth payment deadline August 17th without any penalty. Due to the excessive amount of time involved in replacing cancellations, booth fees will not be refunded under any circumstance if you cancel after the booth payment deadline.
Can I share a booth with another vendor?
If you are applying and want to share a booth with another maker you may do so. Both makers fill out separate applications but let us know in the additional comments section and who you would like to share with. Just please understand that when the jury is reviewing applications, we will consider both parties and their overall aesthetic and quality of work. You will both pay the application fee and if accepted we will email each of you your total of the booth fee.
Will there be any special promotions or swag bags?
Yes! We’ll be handing out swag bags to the first 25 visitors of the day of the show. All vendors are encouraged to donate to the swag bags, but it is not a requirement. You can donate as much or as little as you like. This is a great way to get your products in front of eager shoppers and potential customers! Some ideas of things that make great giveaways: small inexpensive handmade items that represent your line, product samples, patches, one inch buttons, stickers, magnets, or whatever you can think of there are tons of possibilities! More details about swag donations will be available upon acceptance.
