maker market vendor application

Each artist/artisan vendor who desires to sell at the Maker Market must submit an application. All submissions will be juried by a committee from images submitted with the application. Certain criteria such as creativity and originality, popular and/or aesthetic appeal and technical skill will be used in determining acceptance. We reserve the right to decline approval based on limited space and/or based on over-representation of one or more type of items already confirmed to be available at the Maker Market. If this occurs, you will be placed on our vendor waiting list.

We are an organization that is completely run by volunteers who are generously donating their time. Please allow 5-8 business days for an email to be sent with your application status. For questions, please contact us.

NO SHOWS AND CANCELLATIONS

Once you have confirmed your spot, please plan to attend. You will not receive a refund and will be moved to the waiting list, if you are a no show.

 

We do understand that sometimes things happen that are beyond our control that necessitate cancellation of your vendor space. As long as you contact us AS SOON AS YOU KNOW YOU WILL NOT MAKE IT, you may receive credit to attend a future date. This is at the discretion of the Maker Market Coordinators. We will allow for one cancellation due to extenuating circumstances only once each year. Because we are an indoor market, we do not allow for cancellations due to weather, unless the weather is extreme enough to close The Fly Arts Center. Food truck cancellations are the only exception. Those who do not contact us at least 24 hours prior to their scheduled date will not receive a credit for a future date.

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM SOCIAL MEDIA SCAMS... This application is the ONLY way you can apply to be a vendor with The Fly's Maker Market. We will never solicit vendors in the comments of social media posts on Facebook or any other platform. We also do not accept applications through Facebook Messenger or email. 

 

Jennifer "Seven" Meloy and Crystal O'Neal are the Marker Market Coordinators. They are the only ones who can approve your application and are the only people authorized to accept payment for your vendor space. Please make sure to add the email address, theflymakermarket@gmail.com, to your contacts list to avoid missing important information regarding application approval and space confirmations.
