Application Process
The Mashpee
Open Market is a juried show. All
applicants will be reviewed for acceptance.
It is our goal to have a wide variety of
products offered at the market with little or
no duplication.
We are currently accepting applications for
the following types of vendors:
Artists and artisans - All artwork and
crafts must be handmade using original
designs. We are unable to accept vendors who
design their product but have it fabricated
overseas.
Antique and Collectible Dealers
Farmers and Prepared Food Vendors
The easiest way to apply is to use our
online application. You must include 3 photos
of your work for your application to be
considered. If you are unable to use our
online application we also accept submissions
via snail mail. Online applicants will
receive notification of acceptance within one
week. Postal applicants will receive their
notification within two weeks.
Reservations
Here's a little refresher course on how to
reserve your space at the Mashpee Open Market
- pay attention because you will be
quizzed!
Reserved spaces are the only way to have a
guaranteed spot at the Mashpee Open Market.
In order to reserve space you must sign up
for a minimum of 5 days/weekends.
Please fill out the online
application with the dates you would like
to reserve. (Don't forget to send 3 images of
your work to info@mashpeeopenmarket.com.)
Reservations should be made at least one
month in advance.
Payment Guidelines
After acceptance into the Market, payment is
due no later than 9 days prior to each event.
To view payment deadlines for each date,
please go to the Calendar
Page on the website. If all payments are
made at once, you will receive one free
Market date!
Last year we had some problems with vendors
reserving space but not showing up. This is
disrespectful both to your fellow vendors and
us here at Market HQ. In many categories
there are limited number of vendors accepted
for each event - if we give you a day it
means that we had to decline someone else's
application. So what does this mean?
Unfortunately we've had to change our policy
regarding payment.
The first time you miss a payment there will
be $25 surcharge. If you miss payment a 2nd
time we will notify you via email that you
will have the choice to either pay the entire
balance of all dates reserved or to forfeit
your remaining reserved dates and become an
unreserved vendor. Unreserved vendors are not
guaranteed space and are charged $100 a day.
