Makers Market Application

EVENT DETAILS:
December 5, 2026, 1 – 5 pm
Mobile Museum of Art
4850 Museum Drive
Mobile AL, 36608

Deadline to apply is 11:59 pm on November 1, 2026.
Table Fee: $50 (only payable if accepted)

The Makers Market is a retail event for local artists and artisans to sell their wares. We focus on local businesses, with preference given to vendors of handmade and original crafts of all kinds. To ensure diversity, a limited number of spots are available per medium. If multiple vendors apply via the same medium, selection will be based on various criteria. Vendor spots are highly competitive, so please make sure you take good pictures for your application and write an informative bio about you and your business!

This is a juried market, so applying does not guarantee acceptance. Likewise, selecting a table size preference does not guarantee that size will be assigned to you. Notifications of acceptance and table assignment will go out by November 9th. For more information, please visit MobileMuseumofArt.com/Vendors.
