Finding Inspiration in Creativity and Community

Our Story
Vendor Members Group was created in 2018 out of a need for authentic craft markets. While resellers and MLM representatives dominated local events, talented artisans struggled to find market space to showcase their work. We envisioned a community where genuine craft-makers and local artisan brands could flourish without competition from global brands.
Despite the challenges of the pandemic, we launched our signature marketplace series, CRAFTS GALORE! Events, in 2021. Since then, we've grown steadily among our followers, showcasing dozens of local brands, and earning accreditation from the Better Business Bureau of Greater Maryland.
