EVENT DETAILS: The Handmade & Reclaimed Market is held from 10-4 on Saturday, September 21st in conjunction with our annual Fall Fest. This wildly popular event includes family friendly games, free food, a beer garden, a storewide sale, live screen printing, and more.

This particular market is held to showcase the work of artists that use reclaimed and recycled materials. If your work does not upcycle or reuse material in any way, it does not qualify for the event, but we encourage you to apply to our other markets, which are listed on on our homepage.

LOCATION: The Handmade & Reclaimed Market will be hosted at our Seattle location at 3223 6th Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98134. All booths are indoors and vary in size from 5×7 to 7×7.

JURY: The show will be juried by a panel of (5) staff members for the benefit of both the makers and shoppers. It is our goal to offer a diverse mix of quality goods at affordable prices. Find out more about our jurying process here.

APPLICATION FEE: Due to the huge number of applications we have received in previous events, there is a non-refundable $5 processing fee for all applicants.

CITY OF SEATTLE TRADE SHOW FEE: The City of Seattle requires that all vendors hold a current Seattle business license or pay a $10 fee. This will be collected from vendors following their acceptance to the market.

BOOTH FEE (DUE UPON ACCEPTANCE):

  • $55 Indoor 5×7 Booth

  • $65 Indoor 7×7 Booth

  • $75 Indoor Corner Booths (6) Available

Vendors will be able to select from 5×7 and 7×7 booths on a first-come, first-served basis following acceptance into the market.

RENTALS AVAILABLE:

  • $5 Table Rental

  • FREE Chair Rentals Upon Request

  • Electricity: Available on a limited, first request basis for a $10 Fee

PAYMENT POLICIES: Vendors that are selected to participate in the market will have one week to complete their payment through our online store. Specialty booths and rentals can be purchased at this time on a limited, first-come, first-served basis. Acceptance to the market does not guarantee the availability of your preferred booth. Curation of the market is up to the sole discretion of the market jury.

ADDITIONAL POLICIES:

  • Vendors are required to arrive a minimum of one hour before the event and stay for the duration of the event

  • Vendors that do not sign in by 11:00 am will forfeit their booth

  • Vendors are responsible for handling all cash and card transactions. BYO cashbox and card reader. Wifi is limited; it is encouraged to bring a wireless device with a data plan for card reading.

REPEAT VENDORS: We love our market veterans! Please note however, that starting in 2016, we are implementing a policy that prevents vendors from selling at more than 2 of the 3 markets per year. This allows us to give other vendors a chance, and keeps the market fresh and exciting for shoppers. (Plus, with the diverse themes, it’s rare that a vendor would be a perfect fit for all three!)

We’re Perfectly Obsessed With Imperfect Produce https://www.seconduse.com/2017/09/were-perfectly-obsessed-with-imperfect-produce/ Wed, 13 Sep 2017 18:42:47 +0000 http://seconduse.com/?p=3203237 We are thrilled to announce that Imperfect Produce is joining us at this Saturday’s Fall Fest as a partial sponsor of our Handmade & Reclaimed Market in conjunction with Fall Fest. We love their approach to diverting food waste and think you will too. Stop by Fall Fest from 12-6 at our Seattle Store to chat with them face-to-face and learn more about their mission here:

In America, more than 20% of the fruits and vegetables we grow never make it off of farms because they aren’t perfect enough for grocery stores’ standards. This results in billions of pounds of produce going to waste every year. We’re talking about produce that’s just as nutritious, and delicious as perfect produce that gets rejected just because it looks a little different. With so many delicious fruits and vegetables going to waste every year, we knew we had to do something to make an impact.

Imperfect fights food waste by finding a home for ‘ugly’ produce. We source it directly from farms and deliver it to customers’ doors for 30-50% less than grocery store prices. We offer a subscription produce box that’s affordable, convenient, customizable, and delicious. It’s bigger than a box, though. By eating Imperfect, you’re helping build a more sustainable and effective food system in the most delicious way imaginable. You’re helping fight food waste. You’re ensuring farmers are rewarded for their full harvest and can feed more people with less wasted land, fossil fuels, and water. You’re improving access to healthy food. You’re creating fulfilling careers for employees. With every bite into a misshapen apple or crooked carrot, you’re helping shape our world for the better.

In a world obsessed with perfection in everything, we’re here to show the world the beauty in imperfection. We’re here to stand up for the underdog: the curvy cucumber, the lumpy potato, the oversized grapefruit. We believe that they matter too. We’re here to make a statement that our differences are what make us beautiful. Just like people, produce comes in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors, and we think this diversity is awesome and something to celebrate, not waste. We invite you to join our community and help us build a less wasteful world that’s as beautiful as it is delicious!

Learn more about Imperfect Produce online and don’t forget to save the date for Fall Fest!
