Become A Vendor!
Opportunities for new and experienced vendors!
We host a diverse range of markets for local artists & makers with handmade/art centric products in the Kansas City area!
Compared to competitive art markets in Kansas City that range from $150-$500 per booth fee, Art Garden KC has continued to maintain an affordable booth rate of $25-$100 depending on the event venue, with no application fees! In Kansas City and nation-wide this is unprecedented for an operation our size and imperative to our mission.
New to vending? Crossroads First Fridays, through the support of Crossroads Community Association, functions as a low risk/low barrier entrepreneurial option for new vendors! At First Fridays, we host over 68 table spaces for vendors that are looking for an easy opportunity to display their work. The booth fees for this location are just $25!

As artists, we sympathize with the fear and anxiety many creatives feel when entering a new scene, therefore we make every effort to encourage a supportive, non-competitive environment at our events. We encourage all vendors to work together and support each other, trading professional knowledge and experience.
