Thanks for your interest in GLAM Craft Show! The Winter 2021 edition will take place on Sunday, Dec. 5 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at First Magnitude Brewing Company. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING DETAILS CAREFULLY BEFORE APPLYING. 

EVENT DATE AND TIME: Sunday, Dec. 5 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2021 by 11:59 p.m.

COVID-ERA ACCOMMODATIONS: Vendor spaces will be farther apart than in previous non-COVID years, in order to allow more space for shoppers to circulate. The organizer will provide hand sanitizer in several locations around the event. Masks may be required depending on current recommendations.

VENUE: For this updated COVID-era winter show, we will once again be at First Magnitude Brewing Company, 1221 SE Veitch Street, Gainesville, FL 32601. The venue will offer both indoor (open-air warehouse) and outdoor (parking lot + beer garden) options for vendors. Indoor table spaces will in the brewery warehouse and canning area, which has large roll-up doors open to the outside air. Fans will be used to keep air circulating through the warehouse. The outdoor booths will be in the brewery parking lot and/or in the beer garden, so please plan accordingly and bring a pop-up tent and weights. 

TABLES / BOOTHS: Craft vendors can choose to apply for an outdoor 10' x 10' booth space ($135) or an indoor 8' table space ($95). Additional space will be created between vendors, given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. One table is provided for each type of craft vendor space. Craft vendors who elect outdoor 10' x 10' booth spaces may bring their own pop-up tent, no greater than 10' x 10', and additional table(s) or displays that will fit within the alotted space. All tents must be anchored securely with weights. Limited spaces are available. If one option is sold out, the organizer may offer you the chance to secure an alternate spot. 

FOOD VENDORS: Food vendors with trucks, trailers, or tents may also apply under the outdoor 10' x 10' booth space ($135) category. Smaller scale cottage food vendors may apply for an indoor 8' table space ($95).

SHARING SPACE: We no longer allow two separate vendors to share space.

SELECTION CRITERIA:

We always receive more applications than we can accept. Please know that we work hard to strike the right balance of vendors for our shoppers. We favor vendors who make unique, handmade, giftable items that are fresh and unexpected, or even edgy and quirky. We are now also accepting vendors who sell vintage items. However, we do not accept vendors who resell items made entirely by someone else (e.g., imported or wholesale items). To be clear, it's okay to buy mass-produced T-shirts and screenprint them with your own designs. It's not okay to buy jewelry or clothing that's handmade in another country and sell it as your own work. If you think there is any grey area with what you make/sell, be sure to address this on your application and/or send us an email. We also limit the number of vendors who sell within a single category (e.g., jewelry and soaps/bath/beauty). All applicants must submit photos of their work that are representative of what they would offer for sale at GLAM.

NOTIFICATION: All applicants will be notified of their status by Monday, Oct. 25 at 11:59 p.m., if not before.

VENDOR FEE: If you are accepted, the producer will retain the vendor fee that you paid. If you are not accepted, the producer will return your payment by Monday, Oct. 25.

SET UP AND BREAKDOWN: Vendor set-up will start at 8:00 a.m. on Dec. 5, and all vendors must have their display set up and ready for customers by 10:00 a.m. Vendors may not begin breaking down their display until the event has ended at 5 p.m. If you break down early, you may not be accepted for future shows.
