Craft Vendor Details
Jury Selection
McConkey's Market is a juried event that selects vendors carefully to provide a variety of products to customers. Things that will be considered as part of the jury process include; product quality, price, booth display and social media presence.
All work must be handmade by the applicant with the exception of vintage or antiques. No imports or mass produced factory items (exceptions may be made for artists who print their custom art on items).
To be considered, please complete the form on this page and if needed, send 3-5 photographs of your work to mcconkeysmarket@gmail.com. This will complete your application.
The application deadline is July 1, 2024 for the September 14 market.
Vendors must apply to each market separately. Acceptance to one market is not a guaranteed acceptance to future markets.
The jury process takes place after our application deadline. Vendors will receive an email within a week after the application deadline informing them of acceptance and payment instructions.
Payment
Once accepted to the market you will receive payment instructions. Booth fees are $125 for a 10' x 10' space and $250 for a 10' x 20' space.
