Urban Craft Uprising 2024 Fall/Winter Application

WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY TO VEND AT URBAN CRAFT UPRISING?

The short answer is, crafters who sell handmade products. However, we do not accept vendors selling imported products, or non-profits representing crafters who will not be present at the show. All products that you are applying with must be US-made. Additionally, if you are applying to represent a collection of overseas artisans, this is unfortunately not the show for you. If your business falls into any of these categories you may be a more appropriate fit as a sponsor of our show. Please contact Kristen for more details regarding sponsorship.

PLEASE NOTE: You will receive a confirmation email immediately after submitting your application. If you do not receive a confirmation email, it means your application did NOT go through, OR you might find it in your spam, promotions tab or trash. Please check those places first!

Please do not submit more than one application per season. If you would like to add a show to your application, just email us! Submitting multiple applications causes a lot of confusion but we are always happy to update for you on the back end.
