How Vendors Are Chosen
The Bazaar Bizarre is a juried craft fair that selects vendors based on
various elements such as:
· Individuality
· DIY-sensibility
· Quality of work
· Diversity of Products
We have a rotating panel of judges from diverse organizations and backgrounds to ensure a diverse and quality showcase of crafters and products.
Traditionally we have received more vendor applications than there are
vendor spaces. So the more information you provide in your application—the
more we’ll be able to consider when making our decision.
One vendor space may be shared amongst more than one crafter. Just be
sure to give us information about all the crafters involved on the application.
Event Logistics
This is a two-day event being held October 18th, 2008 from 10am to 10pm and October 19th, 2008 from 11am to 6pm . The event will be held at the
Travis County Event Center and Fairground.
More details about the event will be sent to accepted vendors.
Booth Logistics
Vendors are given a 6'x6' space. A 6 ft. table and two chairs will be
provided. Vendors must leave their space clean and garbage-free. Bazaar Bizarre San Francisco and Maker Faire are not
responsible for lost, stolen or damaged property or for any bodily injury
before, during or after the event.
Costs
The fee for one vendor space is now $130.00
We can understand that vending may seem costly and we try to keep costs at a
minimum for you. Historically Bazaar Bizarre has proven to be a successful show
for a majority of our vendors and brought them greater visibility among consumers,
media and wholesale buyers alike. Based on an anonymous survey Bazaar Bizarre
conducted with San Mateo Maker Faire (2008) more than 67% of vendors earned a
gross profit of $700 USD or more, 26% of them earning $1,500 USD or more in
total sales. 96% of our vendors grossed at minimum, twice
their vendor fees.
Projected attendance for this year's Maker Faire Austin is 35,000 attendees!
