About the application

Food & beverage creators! Apply here

Wondering what qualifies as a prepared food or beverages? Here’s a reference to what we’re looking for:

  • Prepared Foods – ready-to-eat meals, baked goods, savory snacks, and more
  • Prepackaged Goods – sauces, spice blends, jams, pickles, and other shelf-stable treats
  • Beverages – coffee, teas, juices, kombucha, and other non-alcoholic drinks

Vendor Selection Criteria

All applications for the ArtStop Market @ FUSION are carefully reviewed by our team. To create a vibrant and balanced food experience, priority is given to vendors who:

  • Provide complete and proper documentation, including food permits and proof of insurance

  • Use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible

  • Offer food or beverages that are unique, high-quality, and add variety to the market

To maintain balance and avoid oversaturation, we may limit the number of vendors offering similar products (e.g., baked goods, beverages, sauces, etc.). Final selection and category limits are at the discretion of market management.

 

Booth Fee Support:

We understand that upfront costs can be a barrier for some vendors. If needed, vendors have the option to split their booth fee into two payments.

 

If you’d like to request a split payment or discuss additional support, please indicate this in your application or reach out to us directly—we’re happy to work with you to make participation possible.
