Art and Craft Vendor

City of Fruita will be hosting its Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair on December 9, 2023. We look forward to you joining us as a vendor. 
 
We have updated our vendor process this year to improve the vendor and customer experience.  Please carefully review our application questions, selection criteria, and requirements for application thoroughly before applying.  
 
Please note that you will not be charged the vendor fees until you have been accepted for approval. You will need to input a valid credit card so if you are approved your fees can be processed.  
 
Vendors will be selected based upon the following criteria: 
1. Quality of product
When judging quality, the City of Fruita reserves the right, in the interest of the fair and participants and other vendors, to refuse any vendor applicant or to reject any vendor from participation at any time during the festival when quality has been compromised. 
 
2. Balance of product/service mix
The City of Fruita reserves the right to determine the mix of products and services that will be offered at the fair, balancing product types and vendor experience. 
 
3. History of business partnerships
The City of Fruita recruits vendors that have good references from other partnerships.  In the event that a vendor applicant has never sold at the festival before, the city may require an interview to determine whether the possible vendor has the integrity of product and customer service skills required. 
 
A vendor at the Arts and Crafts Fair is expected to be consistently able and interested in meeting customers graciously and with a desire to share product information willingly. A history of contentiousness with customers, other vendors, or Festival staff will rule out participation in this Festival.
