Artists Market Vendor

Welcome to the application process for the 60th Annual Fell's Point Fun Festival, Baltimore's longest-running community event that draws 50,000+ attendees. We appreciate your interest in our special event!

This application is for our Artist Market, artists and craftspeople who create and sell their own original works of art. To receive our special discount for Baltimore City artists, you must live in a Baltimore City zip code.

Notes

This category includes vendors who prepare their own pre-packaged culinary items intended to be used off-site, such as homemade hot sauces and spice mixes. However, if your food item is designed to be consumed on-site while strolling the festival (popcorn, fudge, cookies, brownies, drinks, etc.) and/or requires you to obtain a temporary food permit from the Baltimore City Health Department - you are not eligible to apply under Arts & Crafts and should apply as a food vendor.

We also allow vintage fashion to apply in this category.

This category can not be used to apply for mass-produced items, corporate products/services, brand activations, home improvements/landscaping, multi-level marketers and other commercial entities. If you would like to sponsor the festival, please contact jeff@fellspointfest.org.

Each vendor space is 10'x10'.  You need to purchase enough space to fully fit your display. For example, if you need a 10'x15' space, you must purchase a 10'x20'. 

A note to art and fashion trucks/busses: due to space restrictions, all art and fashion trucks/busses need to purchase the full amount of space they need for their vehicle to maneuver, stage and vend, in 10'x10' increments.
