Become A Merrymaker!
Hi there! Interested in becoming a vendor at our market?
We are SO happy you are here!
First things first, we should start off by telling you that we are ALL about community here! Our goal is to lift up and support local and sustainably focused small business owners, makers and artists. We welcome all and have a soft spot for women owned and BI-POC owned and LGBTQ+ businesses, as well as all things vintage and handmade.
This isn't your average market, promise! It's not a farmer's market, a flea market or a craft fair. It's a curated, thoughtfully designed pop-up market experience. Our goal is to work with the best venues and ever better vendors that *just get us.* If you know, you know.
We'll paint you a picture of what we mean :) Do you remember the first time you walked into *THAT* store or boutique. The feeling it gave you, the smell, the sounds, the store that made you say, "Hey, one day I want to sell my art here!" or " I need to buy all of the things, it just feels like me." Well that's what we want our market guests to feel when they come to one of our markets. We want our market to have it's own identity, something that can't be found anywhere else. Doesn't that sound dreamy? We think so.
If this sounds like the perfect market for you, we really hope you'll apply to join us!
