Each year we release a Call for Submissions inviting artists and artisans to apply to sell their work at our events. All exhibitors, even those who have participated before, must apply annually and are subject to jury review. Application period is typically May – early August. All applicants are also considered for the upcoming winter holiday Bazaar, May Market, and year-round inclusion in our online shop.

We strive to attract artists and artisans with handmade, high quality, unique artwork in a wide variety of mediums. We select exhibitors whom we believe are capable of meeting the demands of the Bazaar in terms of style, volume, and affordability.

The Bazaar is unique among art fairs because exhibitors do not watch over their space or cashier their own sales. All sales are handled by BGAB cashiers at centralized check out stations, as in a pop-up gallery or retail store. Customers appreciate the low-pressure sales environment and exhibitors are free create more work to meet our high-volume show. Exhibitors are also encouraged to promote the show through social networks and promotional materials.

Exhibitor costs include the application fee and a 35­-45% commission based on total show sales. Sales tax and credit card merchant fees are paid by BGAB. At the end of the show, BGAB tallies the total sales for each exhibitor, subtracts the commission, and issues a check to the exhibitor.
