Artists, Makers, and Crafters!

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)

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.
