Here’s how it works:
Once the application period closes on February 7 at 5 PM EST, our team carefully reviews all submissions. Then, our owner, Jenna Dobbyn, personally reaches out to those we feel are the best fit to join our already incredible lineup.

Even if you're not selected this round, don’t worry—things change throughout the year! We host pop-ups, sip-and-shops, large artisan markets, and sometimes vendors step away, opening new opportunities. We often revisit past applications to fill those gaps.
Please note:
Applications are only retained for one year, so if you’d like to be considered again next year, be sure to submit a new form during the next Open Call.
