Covered Bridge & Arts Festival

CRAFT VENDOR:
Interested in becoming a crafter at the Covered Bridge Festival?  Your first step is to fill out the online form below.

If you are a CRAFTER, please fill out our: Covered Bridge Festival Craft Vendor Pre-Qualification Form

To be considered as a future festival vendor, please fill out the online form completely and submit it. Afterward, please send a total of three (3) photos of you making your craft to dsharrow@cmvb.com. Please include your name and business name in the email with your photo submission. Prospective crafters who fail to submit photos will not be considered for the event.

Pre-qualification forms may be submitted at any point throughout the year. Forms will be reviewed and filed, to be referenced the next time vendors are needed to fill spaces. Once added, pre-qualification forms are saved in Committee's files for up to 3 years of consideration.  Submitting a pre-qualification application does NOT guarantee you a spot in the show. If your pre-qualification forms and paperwork are in order, you will be placed in the qualified pool of vendors. Please remember that applicants must hand make their craft – no buy/sell! Booth spaces start at $350 for the 4-day festival.

Filling spaces: Craft vendors who were at the prior festival are given priority to return.  The spaces of craft vendors who elect not to return will be filled from the pre-qualified pool of applicants who have already been approved.  If you are in the pre-qualified pool, you will be notified in early summer if your pre-qualification application was selected to attend our upcoming festival as a new vendor.  If you are one of the vendors selected, you will then receive a full application to fill out along with instructions for space payment. If you were not selected from the pre-qualification pool for the given year, you will not be notified directly. You will only be notified if you were selected as a vendor.

"I have been doing the Covered Bridge & Arts Festival for at least six years now, and it is always a very enjoyable and profitable show for me. I'm a part of the new fine arts section of the festival that was introduced last year. Linda and the Visitors Bureau staff have been great to work with in getting that set up."

"As a small local business, it is important we attract folks from outside the local area. The Covered Bridge & Arts Festival provides us with an opportunity for tremendous exposure.  A common comment we hear from repeat customers in our shop is that they first found our coffee company at the Covered Bridge Festival.  I am certain that our success has been helped by being there each year."

"The Covered Bridge & Arts Festival is one of our favorite venues as a crafter. One nice thing about it is that it is easily accessible for all levels of mobility. Plus, there are high quality crafters with an amazing variety of crafts.  Come see for yourself!"
