Thank you soooo much for your interest in our events!
We appreciate all of the hard work you put into your products, booths and time at the events.
Please know, each event is juried individually. While we do not necessarily restrict how many events you can be in, you may or may not get into all events you apply for and this is for a few reasons.
~We try very hard to not make it the best event for the artists/makers; not having too many of the same or similar products and not having the same categories next to each other.
~We also try very hard to make it the best event for the shoppers. This means not having all of the same artists/makers at every event.... I mean.... As a shopper, how bored would you get if you see only the same artists/makers at event after event after event?? Yes, some people might get into multiple events, while others might only get into one.
We look forward to another amazing year with all of you talented artists/makers/bakers!!!
We appreciate all of the hard work you put into your products, booths and time at the events.
