We are specifically curating the marketing for this event to feature art that leans into a spooky, dark, or unusual aesthetic but embraces the themes of spring, nature, and the circle of life. 

Important rules:

• Original artwork, ethically-sourced oddities, and curated antiques/vintage only.
• No MLM, licensed characters, fan art, or AI-generated content.
• No cultural appropriation. Research items like dreamcatchers, sugar skulls, and white sage before applying. When in doubt, leave it out.
• No real bat products. All animal remains must be ethically sourced.

When applying:

When applying, please plan to share 3 to 9 high-quality images of your work. Please note: these images will automatically be cropped to a square, so keep that in mind when submitting! Alongside your photos, include compelling descriptions of your art, making sure all text is written in the third person.

We ask that you highlight your theme-fitting pieces in your application so we can see how you align with the 'Pushing Up Daisies' vibe. If you are a returning vendor, we would love to see something new you've been working on! Please remember that if accepted, you are more than welcome to sell your full range of work at your booth—you aren't limited to only selling spring-themed items, as long as your other goods follow our general guidelines.

 

Help us help you.

In the following two pages, you'll be asked to share photos of some of the item(s) you'll be bringing to this market. To keep the vendor fee low, our team needs help drafting social posts for marketing purposes. Please consider the following:

• Include high-quality photos and descriptions that are ready to post.
• Submit a caption written in the third person that we can easily copy & paste into our post scheduler. Don't be afraid to hype yourself, we're proud of you, and you should be too!
• To be extra helpful, include hashtags that help describe your work. 
• If you have submitted to our events before, please do not submit the same images as you have previously. We want to show variety and growth in our vendors!
