PLEASE READ THIS FULL DESCRIPTION BEFORE REGISTERING. If you do not read the full description - it's likely your application will be declined.

Select "Show More" to see the full description.

We have been hosting artisan and makers markets for the last 3 years around Anacortes and are excited to host our final two markets at the Depot for 2024. 

PLEASE NOTE: 

• Our final markets of this year will be incredibly selective. 
• Vendors will be accepted based on your uniqueness and ability to answer the application questions thoroughly. 
• Being a past vendor does not guarantee you a spot in the market - so please answer all questions completely.

Please note: Application submission or past participation *does not* guarantee placement in the market and the application fee is non-refundable.

Market Info:

Each market will be unique. Accepted vendors will either be able to participate in one market and not both to allow space for more artists. 

Dates for the markets:

Saturday, Nov. 2nd 10AM-3PM

Saturday, Dec. 7th 10AM-3PM

Booth sizes and prices will vary. Smallest booth is 6x5, largest is 10x10 - all booths are indoors. Outdoor booths may be available depending on the weather. Booth fees will range from $40-$100. 

Markets are both located at the Depot Arts Center in downtown Anacortes at 611 R Avenue.

A juried committee will review all applications and choose vendors based on:

• Each applicants answers and ability to answer the questions (you'd be surprised how many vendors don't actually answer the questions properly)
• The applicants social media links/website. Applicants must provide full URL link in application, or email photos if no links are available.
• The uniqueness and high quality of the applicant's products

Our goal is to showcase a fun variety of makers, artists, and crafters that we believe will do well and be the best fit at our market in Anacortes.

If you are accepted into the market, you'll receive a link to reserve a booth space at the market date you were accepted for. Accepted vendors will be notified in early September by email. Please add CreativeHub.Anacortes@gmail.com to your contact list to ensure the email does not end up in your spam folder (our emails have landed in spam and vendors have missed out on past markets due to this). If you've read this description thoroughly - thank you! You need to use this secret word (aka phrase) in the application. Type this exactly, "I read things." If you do not type that phrase - your application will be declined. We find many artists do not read the event description and then don't fill out the application properly, which makes processing applications a challenge. We appreciate you being thorough.

Before completing your application, please be sure to read through all of the Vendor Guidelines, Terms & Conditions, and the Waiver and Release policy which is on page two under Event Policies after you've completed your Vendor Booth Registration.
