Urban Craft Uprising Winter Show

Everyone loves this show. They save up to do all their holiday shopping with local handmade vendors.

I feel like the show went so smooth, everything really good. So great to see dedicated old fans who have been buying from me for over a decade. Seeing kids growing up. So many great, meaningful stories from fans of how my products have added goodness to their lives. A gazillion thanks to you all for hanging in there all these years, building the UCU brand, and offering such a positive experience to us vendors. Really, you are the best show out there!

UCU does an exceptional job making sure that we have all of the information we need. We really appreciate it. We have done many shows and UCU shows are by far the most organized and professional that we have seen. Well done!

I’m sure you guys hear this a ton, but what an amazing show you put together year after year, it’s organized and the people that attend are amazing and so supportive of handmade, kind of like a holiday gift to vendors. I was so impressed by the variety this year and quality of everyone’s work. Sometimes at other shows, I feel like there’s a huge focus on making sure price points stay within a certain area – sometimes to the detriment of what is getting shown – and I really noticed this year that there was a huge variety in what people were making, price points, presentation, etc. but consistently it was interesting and beautiful work. I imagine that’s a hard thing to accomplish, but wow.

I’m really honored to have been selected for this show. The work was next level! I’ve never taken part in a show like this, it was a blast. I’m totally hooked!

You guys are the best! It is the best curated craft show around, and everyone in Seattle knows it. We had great sales and a lot of fun with the customers and other vendors. Thanks again for all your hard work and we can’t wait until the winter show!!!  

My favorite moment was meeting all the vendors/volunteers + so many kind customers and shoppers. I loved how much interest people showed, the curiosity, as well as the positive encouragement. Everyone was so positive and kind and it was great to have the opportunity to see the amazing work of all participating vendors. These are the types of events that always give me the energy to continue pursuing my side hustle even thought sometimes it can be exhausting next to a full time demanding job. The show was very well organized and coordinated and I was honored to have been selected to participate. Urban Craft Uprising is very well known and respected, and as someone who has only been in the world of selling arts/craft for a little over a year it was an absolute pleasure to be vending at this event. Thank You so much for the opportunity.

This was the best organized show I have done (out of probably 50 different shows I have done over the last 12 years I have vended.)

[My favorite part of the weekend was] seeing previous customers still using my purses and telling me how much they love them

Just thank you. I hope you know how much you are appreciated. And how much the hard work and love you put into this has completely changed me and my tiny business. Your shows have made a record breaking year possible. I can’t speak highly enough of the quality of your shows and just the incredibly good vibes you, the staff, and the customers bring. To have this be my opener to the holiday season is just a HUGE wow. What a way to start off the holiday season with a bang. Thank you Kristen and Lindsey. Thank you, thank you, thank you <3
