The 2025 Nature Makers Markets will take place on May 3rd and November 8th.
Our biannual Nature Makers Markets are celebrations of quality craftsmanship and artisan-made goods, inspired by nature and/or made of natural materials. These one-day markets take place in May and November and feature approximately 30 Michigan artists. Items for sale may include art prints, textiles, jewelry, watercolor paintings, stationery, ceramics, glassworks, wool goods, stickers, pins, wood items, botanical skin care, succulent planters, dried flowers, resin crafts, and more.
If you’ve vended at our market before, you are already on our mailing list and you will be contacted prior to each market to gauge your interest and availability for upcoming market. Once we receive your interest form, you will be considered among new artists, and our jury will select artists for the upcoming market.
If you are interested in becoming a vendor at our market, please read our market guidelines attached below. Then, fill out the application form linked below to be considered for the upcoming market; please be prepared to submit photos of your work in the application. This application is only open twice per year, so if the form is closed, check back during the open application times. If your work is a match with our markets, we will contact you about future markets.
Consideration is given first to artists who have participated with us before. Therefore, we usually have very limited spots available to new artists at each market. However, new artists are accepted into each market.
Participation in one market does not guarantee participation in future markets. This allows opportunities for new artists to participate in a market, as well as making each market unique with new offerings from new artists.
Artists are chosen by a jury of Blandford staff with the goal of exhibiting a variety of high-quality goods of differing materials and aesthetics.
New artists and previous vendors, we will contact you either way if you’ve been accepted into the market.
Please note: We do NOT communicate with artists via Facebook Messenger or Instagram, and we will never ask you to submit payment for a market electronically.
