Queer Makers Market

What kinds of arts and goods do the markets feature?

We've featured artists and makers who sell: original paintings, original digital art, art prints, original art stickers, candles, soaps, screen printed shirts and totes, block print originals, hand crafted jewelry, pottery, quilts, wall hangings, woven fiber art, 3D printed décor, catnip toys, original art keychains, hand and ice died clothing, original art buttons, and so so much more! 

Is there a market or booth fee? 

Nope! There is never a required fee to participate in our markets. We believe in providing economic opportunity to LGBTQIA+ artists and makers, not making money off of their labor.  We recognize that markets are a high variable selling environment and we want artists to be able to participate without the barrier of a fee. 

Does QTAC provide the market set up for participating artists & makers?

QTAC has a limited number of tents and tables that we are able to lend to first time artists that do not have their own set up. Artists must indicate a need to borrow a tent/table during the application process. Other than that artists must provide their own set up. QTAC does not currently have the capacity to provide 15+ tents, tables, chairs, etc. at every market. But maybe one day! 

I'm an artist / maker and want to participate! How do I do that? 

We utilize an application process for each market to determine participating artists and makers. We are very new seller friendly and are always thrilled to have returning experienced artists. Our markets focus on handmade goods and artistic work and we do not accept reseller, thrift, taxidermy, or artists/makers working in regulated industries. 

​

Work with friends? Each artist needs to fill out their own individual application.
