Spring Sip & Shop — Vendor Application
Hosted by Queerolina at Raleigh Brewing Company

Queerolina is excited to invite queer artists, makers, and small businesses to apply to vend at our Spring Sip & Shop on April 11th, 12–6 PM. This event is a celebration of queer creativity, community, and craftsmanship; a space where people can sip, shop, and connect while supporting artists who make what they sell.

Booth Spaces, Setup & Policies

• This event will include both indoor and outdoor vendor spaces.
  • Indoor spaces will accommodate a 6’ table.
    • Some locations may allow for an additional 4’ table arranged in an L-shape, depending on placement and venue layout.
• Outdoor spaces will be 10’ x 10’ to allow room for a standard vendor tent.
  • Vendors are responsible for providing their own tent and securing it properly.
• Vendor setup begins at 10:30 AM.
• All vehicles must be fully moved by 11:30 AM to allow for final event preparations.
• Tear-down must be completed and all vendor materials cleared by 7:00 PM.

Please note:

• Vendor fees are non-refundable.
• This event will take place rain or shine. Outdoor vendors should plan accordingly and monitor the weather in advance.
• By applying, vendors agree to review and adhere to the Terms & Conditions associated with this event. Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance.

What We’re Looking For

This is an Arts & Crafts–style market (not resale or generic wholesale). We are prioritizing vendors who:

• Create original, handmade, or artist-designed work
• Are involved in the design and/or production of the items they sell
• Bring something unique or thoughtfully crafted to the market
• We strongly encourage applications from artists working in:
• Handmade & crafted goods (jewelry, textiles, fiber art, candles, ceramics, etc.)
• Illustration, painting, prints, zines, and mixed media
• 3D printed items that you designed yourself (original files or heavily modified designs)
• Upcycled, custom, or small-batch creations
• Any other creative work that reflects care, intention, and originality
• The more unique your work, the better!

Important Values & Expectations

• All vendors and their work must be respectful of all marginalized communities, not only queer folks.
• Hate speech, harmful imagery, or exclusionary messaging will not be accepted.
• Our goal is to create a balanced market, so we may limit duplicates of similar items to help vendors have the best possible sales and avoid oversaturation.

Application Review

• Photos of your work are required as part of the application. These help us understand your style, quality, and how your work fits into the overall market.
• Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance, as space is limited and curated.

Thank you for helping us build a market rooted in creativity, care, and community. We can’t wait to see what you make. ?✨
