Please follow all instructions before submitting the Interested Vendor Form
Vendor Members Group uses a juried approval process for interested vendors
Complete and submit the "Interested Vendor" form at the bottom of this page
Upon approval, you will be contacted to discuss your brand, membership details, and our events. Patience with this process is appreciated. We currently do not have the ability to contact all unapproved vendors
After our phone call, you will be sent an Introduction letter and details to request your admission application
Submit the Admission Application with membership fee
Once your application is confirmed, a Welcome letter is sent with event payment details. Event payment is required to secure your event dates
Event assignments and details are distributed the week prior to each event
Accredited by the BBB of Greater Maryland, Vendor Members Group consists of artists, musicians, writers, designers, food preparers, and craft vendors who create their brand.
Membership is juried and limited to homemade brands.
Multi-level marketing companies or resellers of national brands are ineligible.
Occurring throughout the year, CRAFTS GALORE! Events connect a unique entrepreneurial market with a supportive community.
Vendor participation in CRAFTS GALORE! is exclusive to Vendor Members Group.
Member assignment (inside or outside) is on a first-paid basis. With limited event space and to prevent market saturation, not all interested vendors will be approved for membership - which will positively enhance the market visibility of our approved brands.
Interested vendors are responsible for obtaining:
Jurisdictional licenses
Vendor insurance
Maryland Sales & Use Tax certificate
For membership consideration, interested vendors must follow our official process outlined below.
Important to note: Our selected location (the church and staff)supports our vision. However, they conduct separate business operations and are not to be mistaken as our answering service.
Event space is limited and offered to members on a FIRST-PAID BASIS:
INSIDE: 10'x8' Inside space
OUTSIDE: 10'x10' Asphalt space (10'x10' canopies w/weights are recommended)
OUTSIDE: Grassy vendor space (10'x18' canopies w/weights are recommended)
Unless stated, electrical use, table(s), chair(s), canopy, and canopy weights will not be provided by Vendor Members Group.
Multiple events (5-8 annually) require extensive operational costs (monthly advertising, supplies, signage, incentives, facility costs, etc.).
To cover these costs, Vendor Members Group keeps fees reasonable, affordable, market competitive, and determined by the number of contracted events.
Advanced payment of fees is required, non-negotiable, non-transferable, and non-refundable.
