ARTIST / VENDOR Application

Welcome to the Seattle Waterfront Marketplace!  Seattle Waterfront Marketplace is a permanent resident collective of more than 50 local artists, artisans, craftspeople, and creators. We offer a win-win solution for artists wanting to move away from the traditional 'day market' model. 

At Seattle Waterfront Marketplace: 

• Artists create a permanent display, eliminating the need for continual set-up and take-down
• The marketplace is staffed to sell on behalf of the artists, who don't vend or 'man' their tables
• There are no application, table, or daily fees
• Artists provide a POS system for processing transactions and accounts are settled weekly
• Artists split gross sales with the marketplace, at a percentage determined by their resident set-up date
• There are no contracts or commitments

Once accepted, artists commit to providing a POS system; using their social media presence to promote the marketplace; and maintaining their market inventory. As a collective, it's important each artist understands their individual success is tied to the success of the market and everyone has a role to play. Artists interested in applying for permanent residency can stop by on weekends between 1:00 and 4:00 OR contact the Market Manager at 253-709-1703, to schedule a time. Artists are encouraged to bring examples of their work, which can include samples, photos, social media pages, etc. Application does not guarantee acceptance and space is filled on a first-come basis. Artist location within the marketplace is at the discretion of market management for the good of the collective. 

VENDING SPACE /STALL: vendor spaces vary, with the average being 8'x3'. Power source provided. 

SETUP: to be arranged with marketplace management - availability is flexible but must be pre-arranged. 

LOADING DOCK is available in front of the building. 

PARKING: there is ample parking available around the waterfront area, and loading/unloading spaces in front of the building.
