To apply and register to be a vendor, please click the link below to visit our event hub. Here you will find all of our events for the year. Feel free to apply for any/all events that interest you:

​

AVANT-GARDE ART & CRAFT SHOW VENDOR EVENT HUB

 

​Please note that we are a juried show, which means we review photos of your work prior to accepting you into our events. That part of the process is also included in the application, which you will see once you apply. You also will see within each event application all costs, space sizes, etc.

​​

THE APPROVAL PROCESS:

Once you fill out your application for your event(s) (each show requires its own application/contract), Avant-Garde staff is then sent a notification that you have applied. We will review your application and one of three things will happen next:

1. If approved, you will receive a confirmation email and your credit card will be charged immediately for the space. 

2. If NOT approved, you will receive an email that lets you know you were not approved this time around, and your credit card will not be charged.

3. If we are full for this show or in your category, you will receive a waitlist email and your credit card will not be charged. If an opening occurs, we will reach out to you and let you know we have an opening. If you are still available and free and would like the opening, we will then charge your credit card and send you an approval email confirmation.

 

One of the above three emails will be sent to you typically within 24-48 hours of when you submit your application.

​​

PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITY AND FREE MARKETING:

Next, you will also receive an email that has a questionnaire for you to answer on the first of every month (starting 3 months before your show), with a free opportunity for Avant-Garde to promote you and feature you in our vendor spotlight blog leading up to the show. You will also in this email receive an event PDF flyer that you can use to post and promote the event on your socials, or print to hand out at other events you are participating in leading up to your event with us.

 

The blog isn't required for you to participate, but it's a free way to promote your business within our blog that reaches thousands and is shared on socials. The flyer is also a good way to promote your business! 

​

Even if you have already submitted back to us your questionnaire, you will still receive the monthly email reminder (three times for the three months leading up to your event), as it goes to the entire registered vendor list for that show, as we get new sign ups each month!

 

You need only reply once with answers to the questions to the blog if you want to be featured.

Do not answer the questionnaire more than once!

​

Another value add of registering with Avant-Garde within our show line is that once you are registered in our application portal, the platform that we host our applications on (known as eventeny), also allows you to set up an online store where you can also sell your items online. Similar to Etsy. Again, this is not required for you to do by vending with us, but who doesn't want extra sales exposure and avenues to sell your products?! Please feel free to utilize this tool within the site! At this time, Avant-Garde does not offer services to help you set this up, you would need to do this yourself after registering on the site if interested.

 

LOGISTICS:

All logistic information for each show regarding setup times, layouts etc. will be sent to you the Monday prior to your event.​​

 

HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS:

Reminder, once approved, since you are juried in, feel free to apply to as many shows as you like for the year and future. 

 

Please note you are not considered registered for an event till we have your application and you've been approved and charged for the show. So be on the lookout for your confirmation email!

​

To check in on the day of the show, you will need to show your confirmation QR code to scan at check in. This serves as your ticket and confirmation that you are a vendor at the show. If you do not have this QR code/confirmation, you will not be allowed to vend that day. Be sure to have it!

​​

If you have friends/family who are looking to pre-purchase their tickets to the event, they also now have the option to do so. Please visit our BUY TICKETS page for more information.

​

 Also, keep in mind, every year we release our new schedule by December 1st for the next upcoming year.

 

Both debit and credit cards are accepted, processing fees do apply which is reflected in the total price once you make your selections.
