We look forward to showcasing artisans and artists who design and create their own exceptional work.

All applications must be submitted by October 6, 2023.  We have a limited number of spaces available this year. We will notify applicants of the number of vendors allowed at the event by October 13, 2023.

Holiday Boutique Facts

Where?  The Holiday Boutique will take place indoors.

Fees? The fee for a single indoor space (8 feet L x 4 feet D) for two days is $325. You can purchase more than one space. The museum does not take a percentage of vendors’ sales.

Set-up? The Boutique runs from 10 am to 4 pm on December 2 & 3, 2023. Vendors may set up on Friday, December 1 from 11 – 3 pm or on Saturday, December 2 from 7:30 to 9:30 am. All vendors are required to staff their spaces for the entire two-day event and to handle their own sales.

Extras? We have a limited number of tables to rent to vendors at a rate of $10 each. You must request these in advance. Due to the age of our building, electrical outlets are also limited. We will do our best to accommodate your electrical needs for indoor spaces, but please let us know in advance if you will need electricity. Vendors must supply their own extension cords.
