Apply to Sell at the Vineyard Artisans in 2026

We are looking forward to our shows this year with some new energy and working hard to make our shows the best they can be.

Budgets are always a concern. Since last year we were tasked with an increase of 50% for our police details. 

Here is the plan: Booth fee’s will not increase if paid by March 15, and secures your ‘preferred booth space’ (space from the previous year).

After March 15th, there will be a small increase in the booth fee, and ‘preferred booth spaces’ will not be secured from previous year. 

Although our operating costs go up every year booth fees will not increase if paid by March 15th, which also secures your preferred booth space from the previous year.

After March 15th, there will be a small increase in booth fees and the preferred booth spaces will not be secured from previous years. 

Fall shows will have a different due date. 

Current Artisans: need to pay a show balance? Please use this payment form.

Jurying Process

The jury process is the basis for your acceptance and placement in the festivals. All work is judged on the basis of design, technical skill, originality, and creativity. The manager reserves the right to limit the amount of vendors per category to balance the shows. Artisan’s designs replicated by a 3rd party or mass produced items are not acceptable in any category. All art and crafts must be hand made, one by one.

We encourage you to apply to exhibit your one-of-a-kind and limited-edition work. Exhibitors who bring work that is not of the quality shown in the images shared, or work not accepted will be removed from the show. All work must be original and handmade by the artist, or with assistance under the artist’s direct supervision. Artist’s designs replicated by a 3rd party on mass-produced items are not acceptable; reproductions including giclée prints can only amount to 25% of your booth, must be clearly labeled and displayed in a secondary manner – in a bin not hung on the wall. In addition, the following items are not acceptable: objects made from commercially available kits, plans, or patterns; imports; factory-made or assembled items and prints that do not have an archival lifespan of at least 20 years.
