Urban Craft Uprising 2023 Spring/Summer Application

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

The short answer is, makers, artisans and designers who sell handmade products. Additionally, local businesses that make both packaged and prepared foods are welcome to apply. Please see our Makers page for specifics about which shows allow prepared food and/or food trucks. However, we do not accept resellers of imported products, or non-profits representing crafters who will not be present at the show. 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.

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!

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.
