How do I join?
The application process for Brooklyn's event runs from August 22 - October 10. You must submit an online application, photos and payment by the deadline in order for you to be considered. Click here for instructions + the application.

How big are the booth spaces?
Each space is 6ft x 6ft. Please note, you're responsible for your own display items (tables + chairs). They are available to rent thru us if you click here.

Can I join with a friend?
Sure! But please help us stay organized by applying all together, and listing one person as a main contact. Include everybody's business names and emails on the application, and send photos + payment at the same time.

Can I have 2 booth spaces for my business?
 Unfortunately, because we receive twice as many applications than we can accomodate, we have to limit one booth per business.

Can international vendors apply?
 We encourage international vendors to apply, but please check with the IRS to square away all your paperwork before proceeding!

When and how will I know if I'm accepted?
You'll be notified by email on October 17 whether or not you've been accepted.

What does it mean the fair's juried, and how do you make your decisions?
Since we can only accept up to 100 vendors, and we receive twice that many applications, the fair is juried. We review everyone's complete application and then make our choice based on a few factors, including how your items fit in with our vision of 'Renegade' (meaning crafts that are DIY and contemporary), the quality and uniqueness of your wares and how they're represented in your application. Check out our scrapbook to get an idea of what we're looking for!

Due to the large volume of applicants, we won't be able to respond individually to each application.

Is my application fee refundable?
If you're not accepted, $200 of your $210 application fee will be refunded to you via PayPal no later than October 20.

Once accepted, you have a short time to cancel and still receive a full refund. Once you cancel after this date, you forfeit your fee and spot in the fair and you are not permitted to sell or trade your space. We have a long waiting list and reserve the right to fill spots as we see fit. The last day to cancel is October 31.

Do I need a vendor's permit?
Your temporary vendor permit is covered by the application fee. This is taken care of by us!

What you are responsible for, however, is registering your small business with the IRS and collecting sales tax for the items you're selling. When tax time comes around, you'll have to pay income tax on all the items you sold and pay the sales tax to the state where the fair is held. We recommend that you call Illinois' department of revenue and the IRS for more info:

Illinois Dept. of Revenue: 1-800-732-8866 or www.revenue.state.il.us
IRS: 1-800-829-4933 or www.irs.gov

What promotional opportunities are available through the Renegade Craft Fair?
