  • If you are applying for a half table, you will be matched with another vendor to share an eight foot long table (four foot space each). We will be matching vendors once the jurying selection has been completed.

  • Electrical outlets are limited and reserved only for vendors who need them for their displays (and NOT for charging phones or devices, sorry!).
  • Vendors must bring their own hardware and tools. All hardware used in display walls must be removed. RAC will patch and paint holes.
  • Table fees are discounted for members.
  • Please give us a few sentences about you and/or your business.
  • We’d love to hear about the items you sell and how they’re made. Are they 100% handmade by you? Are they original designs produced in collaboration with others or outsourced for production? Or are you a vendor reselling goods made by other artisans? Please note: This festival is dedicated to supporting local artists and craftspeople, with a focus on handmade, original work rather than reselling or mass-produced items.
