After an incredibly successful first year, we are excited to bring back the TBS Winter Artisan Market! The Artisan Market brings local crafters and artisans together for one busy Sunday of holiday shopping. Doors are open to the public and admission is free for all guests. This event is not only advertised to Temple Beth Shalom (1100+ households), but the broader local community as well. We also strongly encourage vendors to promote the event on their own.


Thank you for your interest and filling out the vendor application form for our second annual TBS Artisan Market! Our event will be held on Sunday, November 15 from 10:00am - 3:00pm at Temple Beth Shalom (670 Highland Ave, Needham, MA 02494).


Application deadline:

  • The vendor application deadline is Thursday, October 1.
  • Vendors will be notified of their acceptance by Friday, October 16.

Prices:
  • Booth with table: $85
  • Booth without table: $72

Important note:

  • Handmade, handcrafted, or original work only. Retail or manufactured goods are not permitted.
  • We will be reviewing each application individually. We aim to keep a balance across categories so shoppers are able to explore all types of items and find variety at the market.
  • Filling out this vendor application does not guarantee a space at the Artisan Market, and we hope you will apply again next year if we cannot fit you in this year.

We are currently at capacity for vendors. Please complete this form to indicate your interest and someone will be in touch if space becomes available. We will also reach out to any vendors who expressed interest this year to participate next year.

Additional Guidelines and Information:
  • Set-up and clean-up: The Artisan Market opens at 10:00am and we ask that all vendors are set up and ready to sell by 9:30am. Vendors may begin setting up at 8:30am that morning. Vendors must have their booths cleaned up and items fully packed by 3:30pm.
  • Prize drawing: As part of your participation, each vendor is asked to contribute one item (with a minimum value of $25) to our prize drawing. This contribution helps to create excitement for our shoppers and exposure to all of the different items being sold.
  • We will share detailed information about parking, setup, cleanup, and other logistics with all vendors in the weeks leading up to the event.
