Thank you for your interest in becoming an approved vendor with The Art Mart. Once you are approved, you can feel free to sign up for any of our events moving forward.
The Art Mart is a market for artists, crafters, and designers who may have their products produced by a third party. We do not allow flea market vendors (with the exception of true vintage items in excellent condition, i.e. vintage cameras and lenses from over 20+ years ago in excellent working condition are allowed; random clothing you bought from Goodwill is not), MLMs, resellers, or AI "art." If you are caught selling any of these things at your booth you will be asked to leave and you will be banned from any future Art Mart shows. Sorry to have to be stern about this off the bat, but we have received too many applications from people who think we can't eyeball AI slop, or that we don't know that your oils or candles are from an MLM, or that your "handmade" items are from Temu. We are by artists, for artists and it is important that we stand by that mission.
Please review the below info prior to applying.
The current list rates for The Art Mart 2026 exhibitors are as follows:
- Standard Booths: $100 per day
- Large Booths: $200 per day
Good things to know:
- Booth sizes will vary between 6x6 to 10x10 depending on the venue. Once approved, we will let you know which events have which booth sizes available.
- Spaces do not come furnished. Vendors are responsible for bringing their own tables, chairs, and tents if vending outside.
- Some events will require additional insurance, which can be purchased from ACT. You will be required to list The Art Mart, the property that is hosting us, and possibly the city the event is in as additionally insured. Once approved, we will let you know which events will require this.
- Parking information will vary per venue.
- Electricity information will vary per venue.
- Wi-Fi is not provided.
- Food vendors and body services will need to provide all relevant licensing and permit requirements.
- All vendors will need to provide a California Seller's Permit. You can obtain one for free at cdtfa.ca.gov.
- Vendor set-up, hours of operation, and breakdown will vary by venue, but we typically shoot for:
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Set-up
- 12:00 PM - 8:00 PM: vending hours
- 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM: breakdown
- Booths must be in operation for all event hours. Unattended spaces or vendors who break down early will not be accepted as a vendor for future events.
- Booth sharing must be approved by us and will incur an additional fee. If you bring a rando with you on the day you will both be asked to leave and will be banned from future events.
- Booth fees are non-refundable in the case of vendor cancellation, for any reason whatsoever. Booth fees will be refunded in the rare case of our cancellation, or you may choose to roll the fee over to a future date.
- If you prepay for multiple events, and do anything to get yourself banned, you will not be refunded.
If approved, we will send you an email with the vendor contract. Once we receive the signed contract, we will send you payment information. It is in your best interest to reserve your space for any events you are interested in ASAP as we only allow 25-100 vendors at any time in order to make sure everyone makes money. First come, first served. Payments must be made in full to reserve your space.
Due to the large volume of inquiries, we cannot respond to any emails or messages asking about the status of your application. If you choose to email or message us about the status of your application, we will unfortunately have to automatically reject it. For the best chance of being approved, please make sure to read everything above and accurately answer all questions below as instructed.
Thank you so much and we look forward to working with you!
