Become a Maker

JOIN OUR MISSION TO RESTORE THE LEGACY OF AMERICAN MADE!

We are deeply passionate in our commitment to grow and preserve the incredible legacy of American craftsmanship for generations to come.  That's why we're here - and we're thrilled you want to join us!

Here's how you can join the Makers Market community:

1. Monthly Outdoor Markets
   
   Our outdoor markets happen monthly at our retail store locations in CA and GA and we're actively expanding to additional sites in our store regions!  Our markets range from intimate 15 booth set-ups to large bustling events with 60+ makers and vendors!

   To join our outdoor events, you’ll need to meet our jury and curation criteria:

   Substantially Handcrafted in the USA: Your product must be handcrafted or assembled on American soil. Simply adding a few finishing touches to imported goods? That won’t cut it. Most of your materials should originate here. Imported raw materials are acceptable if they’re a minor, non-essential component of your masterpiece.
   
   

   Professional Presentation: A website or social media presence, plus a polished, professional-quality booth, are must-haves.

2. Pop-Ups and Trunk Shows
   
   Looking for a chance to connect with customers on a personal level? Host a pop-up show at one of our store locations! Each store has its own unique vibe and we’ll work with you to make it happen in the right place and space. We can offer events for a single afternoon or evening at all store locations, or join us for an extended impression in our Lafayette location!

3. In-Store Studio and Workshops
   
   This is where creativity meets community! At our Lafayette location, we provide shared workspace and event space for makers to showcase their craft.  We also offer spaces at our outdoor markets for workshops and tutorials!

   Our goal? To help customers develop a deeper appreciation for the skill and care behind locally sourced goods. As a maker, you’ll gain exposure, revenue opportunities through group events, and the chance to share your artistry with an engaged audience.

   We can’t wait to see what you’re creating—because when we work together, we keep the spirit of American craftsmanship alive and thriving!
