Vendor Information

Once again for 2025, we are inviting artists from many disciplines, such as Fiber, Clay, Wood Workers, Basket Makers, Painters, Leather Workers, Metal Workers, and Multimedia to join our Gourd Artists and participate in the Show-Me Gourd Society Art Festival. You can be a teacher, vendor (supplies or artwork) or both. If your media or technique can apply to Gourd art, in any way, we want you to join us. Your vendor booth is not required to include gourds but must be handcrafted. It just needs to be a product or technique that could also be used with or on gourd art. 

 

Vendor Setup begins Thursday June 26, 2025, 12:30-4:30pm and continues Friday June 27 at 8:00 am. 

 

Workshops will begin Friday June 27th. The festival is open to the public on Friday  June 27 at 9:00am-5:00pm, Saturday June 28 at 9:00 am to 5:30, and Sunday June 29 at 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. 

 

Please submit an application and photos of what you will teach and/or what is included in your booth. We do want to review your application for applicability to our festival. This year’s classes and vendors will be juried. You will be notified as early as possible so you may resubmit a different class/vendor application.

 

More information and vendors/instructor applications can be found on our website www.showmegourdsociety.org.
