What is it? It's a large, indoor green indie craft fair hosted
by the STL Craft Mafia & Webster U's Environmental Studies
Committee. Featuring info on green living, an Upcycle
Exchange Program to reuse and donate craft supplies, and
lots more!
This year there will be a few differences in the event - it will
be a one day show instead of two and booths will be more
spacious. We anticipate at least an 8 ft x 8 ft space, with
potential for larger. Final dimensions will be announced
before the application deadline.
Where and when? This fair will be held in Webster
University's Grant Gym, at 175 Edgar Rd, Webster Groves,
MO 63119. 314-968-7060 for information. Parking is
available in the Garden Plaza Parking Garage for visitors. It's
a free event - visitors do not pay a cover charge. It's also
very family-friendly.
This show will be on JUNE 5th, 2010.
How much is it? It's free to apply. There is a participating
vendor fee of only $45.
What kinds of artists are you looking for? We're looking
for indie crafters & artists who are willing to take the "green
challenge" and create original handmade art in the spirit of
eco-friendly creativity. We're looking for the most creative
handmade goods out there - start upcycling, recycling,
repurposing, and turning trash into handmade treasure!
We realize that not all of your current inventory will be made
of recycled materials, but please try to make the bulk of your
show inventory eco-friendly.
This year, we will be offering a few spaces to sellers of funky
vintage finds and/or makers of handmade, recycled, vintage
or upcycled supplies. You may apply online as well using the
online form provided on this page. Please - no traditional
antiques dealers or commercial supply vendors.
Other stuff: *Please note - vendors must provide their
own tables, chairs, food & drinks. The facility has
restrooms, water fountains, and soda machines, but no
wifi or electrical outlets.
We will have local delicious coffee, baked goods and
snacks for sale. There are also many local restaurants
in the Webster Groves community. Plan ahead!
Please bring your own shopping bags, preferably
recycled/recyclable. Vendors will not have access to
electrical outlets. No smoke, open flames, weird
chemicals, loud noises, or generally obnoxious things
and bad behavior will be tolerated per Webster
University policy.
Keep in mind, if you were accepted last year you are not
automatically accepted this year. We try to keep the vendor
line up fresh and give newer artists a chance to shine
alongside the crowd favorites.
Make sure you apply before the deadline and fill out all of the
fields completely. We will notify applicants via e-mail.
