Important change in jury procedures for all prospective new artisans - see details below. Jury is now closed for artisans for the 2013 season. We will be accepting new "From the Studio" applications January 25, 2014.
For Vendors and Prospective Vendors: Documents and forms will soon be updated for 2013. You may use the current 2012 as samples. Detailed information can be found on the Vendor Forms page and on the forms themselves. Current stall rental fees are on the Vendor Agreement. This will be updated soon for 2013.
ARTISANS*: According to our bylaws, at least 50% of the vendors at The Land of Goshen Community Market every Saturday must be “From the Garden” (those who sell primarily agricultural produce and specialty crops). In order to maintain this ratio, we have had to keep an ever-growing waiting list of “From the Studio” (art) vendors.
We will have a limited number of openings for new art vendors this season; we want to be sure that the best of all of the work that has been submitted fills these few spots. We have art vendors on our waiting list who were juried and accepted over four years ago, but have not been able to attend the market because of the ratio. To resolve this situation, we will use the following processes to determine the new art vendors who will be able to attend the Market.
For the 2013 season only, the following jury process will be in effect: 1) Applications will only be accepted between
January 25th and March 1st.
a. All new prospective artisans must submit
a completed “From the Studio” vendor applications, to jury@goshenmarket.org prior to March 1 to be considered for the 2013
season.
b. If you are an approved artisan currently on
our waiting list, you may either:
i. notify us via jury@goshenmarket.org if you are still
interested in the Market and would like your initial application to be
considered
ii. reapply prior to the March 1 deadline if
you would like to make changes to your initial submission.
2) All new artisans with submissions on record
by March 1st will be evaluated and ranked. Invitations to join the
Market will be issued by March 31st.
For the 2014 season and beyond, the following jury process will be in
effect:
1) Applications will only be accepted betweenJanuary 25th and March 1st. All new prospective artisans
must submit completed “From the Studio” vendor applications, to jury@goshenmarket.org prior to March 1 to be considered for that
year’s season.
2) All new artisans with submissions on record
by March 1st will be evaluated and ranked. Invitations to join the
Market will be issued by March 31st.
*If you don't grow it, and you don't bake it, then you are probably an artisan.
