BAZAAR BIZARRE SAN FRANCISCO - 2010 SHOW INFORMATION

Please read everything before proceeding to the application page...the APPLICATION LINK is on the bottom of this page.

Bazaar Bizarre is a juried event with rotating guest judges from the craft community. Bazaar Bizarre supports artists and craftspeople that appeal to the aesthetic of the "indie art and craft scene" and have innovative approaches to traditional craft forms. Bazaar Bizarre produces moderately sized craft fairs (<150 vendors) to ensure quality product selection and higher profit margins for our vendors. While Bazaar Bizarre does not have strict rules for determining acceptance, the following criteria are taken into consideration when reviewing applications:

This is by no means an exhaustive list, as each applicant is weighed on many factors and the personal tastes of the current guest judges. We strive to show a balance of products, veteran and new applicants in every show. Due to the high volume of applications Bazaar Bizarre is not able to give individual reviews for each application. Rejection in any one show does not exclude you from reapplying to future Bazaar Bizarre events. Traditionally we have received more vendor applications than there are vendor spaces.
