More than 120 local and far away artists participated in Craftland 2005 -- teenagers to grandmothers, professionals to first-timers.
Do I need to be present to sell my goods?
No. Craftland is a retail store that operates on a consignment basis. Artists will need to drop their merchandise off at Craftland (or mail it if you live out of town), and the Craftland staff, as well as volunteers, will operate the store.
Craftland is a consignment store, and therefore vendors receive a percentage of the retail sale price of their items. Vendors who volunteer 12 hours of their time to help run the Craftland store, will be paid 70% of the retail price of their items, while Craftland will keep 30% of the retail price. Vendors who do not volunteer 12 hours of time will be paid 60% of the retail price, while Craftland will keep 40% of the retail price.
There is also a $10 application fee that is payable at the time you submit your application.
