VENDORS

We’re looking for 2-Spirit and Indigenous vendors for our Powwow Marketplace!

Whether your work is traditional or contemporary, we welcome all forms of Indigenous creativity — beadwork, clothing, jewelry, craft supplies, and more.
This is a great opportunity to share your work, connect with community, and be part of a space that celebrates Indigenous art and culture.

Applications will be open until April 24th. Please fill out the form at the link below to express your interest in vending at this years powwow.

Please note: Submitting an application does not guarantee a vendor spot. Space is limited, and we receive more applications than we are able to accommodate.

All applications are reviewed carefully, and vendors are selected based on a variety of factors, including the information provided in the application and overall event needs. Our goal is to create a balanced and diverse vendor market for attendees.

Due to the high volume of applications, we are not able to provide individual feedback on selection decisions. We truly appreciate your interest and encourage you to apply again in future years.
