We’re excited to welcome a variety of makers!

Important Information-Please Read Carefully

By filling out the application form, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions set out in this application as well as in any follow-up communication.

To keep things organized and fair, please note the following details about our application process:

All applications are reviewed in the order they are received, but acceptance is based on available space within each vendor category.
  • Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance, even if it’s submitted early. Some categories fill very quickly, and once we reach capacity, we’re unable to accept additional vendors in that category. Some categories are already full based on prior year vendor acceptance.
  • Vendor category availability may change at any time as applications are reviewed. Even if a category hasn’t been announced as full, it may close without notice based on the volume and variety of applications we receive.
  • Direct Sales/MLM spots are limited. We currently have vendors for: Tupperware, Norwex, Pampered Chef & A Spice Affair.
  • Categories that are currently FULL include 3D printing, knitting/crochet, textiles, body care & authors (all subject to change).
  • As the organizing committee, we reserve the right to limit the number of vendors in each category in order to maintain a balanced and diverse event. These decisions are made thoughtfully and are final.
  • Photos may be requested and must be provided promptly for jury/vendor consideration.
Expect an email response, from gatewaycraftsale@gmail.com, to the email address you provide in the application. Please allow up to 21 days for a response.
