Become a Vendor
Are you an independent artist, maker, designer, and/or small business owner? Then we’re looking for you!
We are a handmade and creative community and as such we are only taking stalls that fit into this category. ….So if you can show that you have had significant input into the design and creation of your products and services, then read on!
Our aim is to select Makers we feel have the most potential for brand growth and wish to get exposure in our markets to get to the next level. We are inviting Gauteng artisans, designers, and producers with a commitment to quality… and a side of sustainability… to showcase and sell their products at the Curated Makers Market.
We accept artisans who create ORIGINAL works of art, handmade products, as well as unique small businesses. We look for one-of-a-kind products that show attention to craftsmanship. Curated Makers accepts and supports emerging artists new to the market scene and experienced vendors!
Products must be handmade by the artist or business owner! This includes artists and designers who create original work on items they don’t make themselves, such as t-shirts or tote bags. If you’re unsure if your products meet our requirements, send us an email at bandile@conhill.org.za before applying!
- We Do NOT Accept MLM products, large retailers, imported/resale items (including resale boutiques), or products made from kits.
- Vendors may not show products or artwork by another business not accepted into the market. See our policy on booth sharing.
- The market will be promoted widely to drive visitation and to ensure a great crowd of eager shoppers. Stall holders will be selected based on quality, and the type of products that they produce to ensure the best mix to meet our market proposition.
- Products are reviewed on quality and uniqueness and against the following criteria…
- We also review product packaging and branding as well as stall design and look for an overall cohesive brand aesthetic.
- Participation in past markets does not guarantee a spot for future markets as we do rotate makers. This is to ensure the market stays fresh for makers and attendees alike.
- Please ensure you have read all the T&Cs and FAQs as this will cover a lot of the questions a new trader often has.
- Before applying, we ask traders to add our email to their safe lists to ensure they get all of our communication. Traders that do not promptly respond around deadlines, can impact their acceptance.
- Finally, you can join our Facebook Group “Curated Makers” where you will find further details and discussions from traders. Please note this is not a group for advertising products.
