Upcoming Event

Calling all VT indie crafters, artists and designers

The Queen City Craft Bazaar is now accepting applications for their holiday craft show. The event will be held on Saturday December 1st.

Go to Queen City Craft Bazaar to get your application.

This is a juried event and spots are limited. The application deadline is October 6th.

Just telling you what I heard

Rumor has it applications for the Women's Festival of Craft (is that the real name?) in Burlington that takes place each year over Thanksgiving weekend are going out soon. I hear this is a tough show to get into. If you are one of the lucky ones to get an application (the process is all by word of mouth) send it in asap as the selection is first come first serve.
