Applications open on Monday, Sept 9th and close at midnight on Sunday, Oct 6th.
Vendors will be announced on Monday, Oct 28th.
All applications will be reviewed by our jury team. Applicants are judged first and foremost on the quality, creativity, originality, and branding of their wares. Secondary consideration is given to maintaining an eclectic, complementary mix of vendors and artisans. The Porter Flea team is committed to curating a diverse and interesting market to draw the largest number of serious customers.
All items sold at the market must be original and made by hand by the individual artist. ***PLEASE NOTE: Vintage items will only be allowed as a complement to handmade items from the artist; we will no longer approve applications for vintage-only booths.*** Returning artists should have at least 25% new merchandise in order to keep our market as fresh as possible. Each artist or group of artists sharing a booth will be juried individually. We will allow branded handmade art collectives and mobile entities to apply. If you have a question about this, please email hello@porterflea.com.
