The application link will be posted on our website at CreativeAvenueNW.com. We only accept applications online — never through email, Facebook messages, or any other channel.

We want to be direct about this: there are a lot of scams targeting vendors in the market and maker community. Having the application hosted on our website is how you know you're interacting directly with us — not someone claiming to be affiliated with our organization.

Do not trust or respond to comments on Facebook posts or events from anyone who is not the business page "Creative Avenue." We will never ask you for payment through social media, email, or direct message. If something feels off, it probably is — reach out to us directly at  CreativeAvenue.NW@gmail.com to verify.

Yes. There is a $10 non-refundable application fee due at the time of submission. This fee is not applied toward your booth fee if accepted — it covers administrative review time.

Booth prices range from $40 to $300 depending on the size you choose. Here is a breakdown of the available options:

Smallest (under 25 sq ft): 4x4, 8x2.5, 10x2.5 — starting at $40

Small (26 to 40 sq ft): 6x5, 8x4, 8x5, 12x2.5, 16x2.5 — starting at $60

Medium (41 to 64 sq ft): 8x6, 8x8, 12x5, 16x4 — starting at $80

Large (65 to 100 sq ft): 8x10, 10x10 — starting at $120

Largest (over 100 sq ft): 12x10, 12x12 (on the Stage), 15x20 Fireplace Room — starting at $150

The 15x20 Fireplace Room is our largest and most unique space, priced at $300. It can be reserved by a single vendor or split between 2 or 3 vendors who would like to share the cost and the space. If you are interested in sharing this booth, note that in your application and we will do our best to connect you with other vendors who are interested in doing the same.

​

All accepted vendors receive the booth registration link at the same time, so booth selection is first come, first served. We strongly recommend adding CreativeAvenue.NW@gmail.com to your contacts now so that email does not land in your spam folder. In our experience, the primo booth spaces fill up the same day the link goes out, and your options will become more limited the longer you wait.

​

If the booth size you need is already taken, we recommend still choosing the closest available option and then reaching out to let us know you were hoping for something larger. If another vendor cancels or changes their selection, we can move you into that space.

No. Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance into the market. A juried committee reviews all applications and selects vendors to create a balanced, high-quality experience for shoppers. You'll hear back by April 24th regardless of your status.

A juried committee reviews every application and selects vendors based on:

• Your answers — and your ability to thoughtfully answer the questions asked (you'd be surprised how often this is the deciding factor)

• Your social media links or website. Please provide full URLs in your application. If you don't have links, we will rely on reviewing the photos you submit in the upload section of the application

• The uniqueness and quality of your products

​

Booth prices range from $40–$300 depending on size. Sizes range from 4×4 ft up to 20×15 ft. If accepted, you'll receive a link to reserve your booth size and location.

You'll be asked to upload 3–4 photos of your products and at least 1 photo of your booth setup — from a previous market, a mock setup at home, whatever shows us how you present your work. Clear, well-lit photos make a real difference. You'll also need to provide your full social media URL(s) or website link.

Incomplete applications — or those that don't follow the application instructions — will be automatically declined. Read everything. Take your time. Be intentional. Follow the instructions. It's that simple.

All applicants will be notified by April 24th. If you aren't selected, you're welcome to join the waitlist — we'll reach out if a spot opens up. The waitlist opens April 30th. With this being the return of Creative Avenue to the market world, we are anticipating a fun variety of artists and makers who will apply We only have room for 42 vendors, so if you are not accepted - it is not personal!
