We are currently accepting vendor applications in all mediums including, but not limited to handmade jewelry, original paintings, sculpture, pottery, woodwork, children’s clothing, natural bath products, home décor, creative goods and more! Original artists! Please see the information below reguarding an IndieFete opportunity!
