Jury Process

Each application is juried by our art + design team. Each application is reviewed carefully and thoughtfully to align with our vision for beautiful, cohesive, and intentionally-curated Fairs.

Applications are juried according to the jury criteria listed below, event aesthetics, variety of product categories, diversity of both upcoming and established artists, and the size of the event.

Jury Criteria

QUALITY
You use high quality materials and techniques to make your work durable, sustainable, and market-ready. We have seen an uptick in vendors sourcing from websites with discounted lower-quality goods. If you are attempting to resell premade products from sites like these, Renegade isn’t the event for you.

ORIGINALITY
Your work, branding, and packaging are thoughtful, intentional, and unquestionably by your own design.

PRODUCTION
Your work is designed and/or handmade by you, and materials are sourced in an ethical and sustainable way. If you outsource your work in any way, please describe your supply chain, including your relationship with the makers in your application.

Of Special Note

The timing of when you submit your application does not affect your grade; we jury all applications once the application window closes.

Depending on the size of the event space, we are able to accommodate more or less artists, which may (or may not) determine your application result. Please see the Booth Sizes + Prices grid to see how large each event is comparatively.

Whether you are accepted or not, or waitlisted, you will receive an email on the notification date listed above. If you didn’t receive an email from us, please check your spam folder. If you applied for a Grant, you will receive news a few days after notifications are released.
