Hello folks!
We're getting pretty exciting about our upcoming Christmas event, which will be held on Saturday December 2, 2017.



 
** Please note that if you do not complete the Opt-In on the landing page of this site, your application cannot be processed as we need explicit permission (in accordance with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation - CASL) to contact you.  
(Also, this is where we gather the information to create our Call for Artisan Applications in future years, so you don't want to miss out on that!) **


Be sure to use an UPDATED version (recommended: Google Chrome or Firefox) to do your application or it may not go through.

Incomplete applications will not be processed.

    ARTISAN APPLICATION

    Max file size: 20MB
    Please upload a picture of your professional logo for display on our website if selected.
    We actually DO send you stuff by post, so please include your complete mailing address.
    If you do not have Facebook, just indicate NOT APPLICABLE.
    If you do not have Facebook, simply indicate NOT APPLICABLE. The reason we ask for your personal FB page is because we create an "Artisans Only" group for each event, which provides an opportunity to communicate and network with other successful local artisans and learn more about the event. Having your contact information enables me to invite you to the group.
    If you are not a Twitter-er, then just leave this section blank.
    Leave blank if you don't use Instagram.
    This information helps us to learn what it working in terms of reaching out and promoting our event.
    We're not sure why this continues to cause confusion, but even if it is your cousin's dog-groomer's neighbour's bestie who makes the items, you are not eligible for the event. We're sorry, but we advertise as being "local and handmade" and this is what our customers are coming to see.
    We ask this question because I have consistently bad luck with Canada Post, and would rather hand-deliver passes and posters to artisans than risk them getting lost in the mail. We attend many of the local shows, scouring for awesome new talent and visiting friends. :)
    **Please note that those who do the best job here and in their photos will be most likely to be selected for the event and featured most prominently in our online marketing leading up to the event.**
    This is a volunteer-run event. I personally spend hundreds of hours organizing and promoting each event. Our students work to promote the event through the community as well. We have been consistently told by artisans that we run one of the best-promoted events in town. That being said, we can't do it all. One main objective of our event is to create community and promote collaboration (both within the school for those helping with the event, and among our artisans) as we work toward a common goal.
    Trust us, we work our butts off to make this event a success. Our marketing efforts take up the majority of our time. That being said, we need your help to make it even better for yourself and the other artisans. We want all of our artisans to go home exhausted, running low on stock and happy at the end of the day!
    We have a list of places where we put up posters, and we ask all of our students to help with this as well. That being said, each artisan typically has connections to places we've never heard of - through their workplace, spouse's workplace, local businesses, etc... The more we can get the word out, the better for everyone.
    Please upload some photos that are representative of your work.  Ideally, include a pic of your table setup as well.

    We ask for a picture of the prize so that we are able to use the photos as part of our marketing efforts. Our customers have told us that they really enjoy getting a "sneak peek" at what they could WIN!
    Please read through the agreement. Yes, we know it's long and kinda boring, but you need to KNOW this stuff! :)
