how do i apply?
just fill out the application, include the required items and send it in by the due date.
note: patchwork is a 2 person operation with the help of volunteers so please don’t email us with questions if they are answered on this sheet, applications or our website :)
how often does patchwork happen?
patchwork happens in the spring and winter (usually may & november). current locations are santa ana, long beach and culver city. we are expanding and adding new shows in southern california.
what do you do with checks if i’m not accepted?
we shred all the checks for unaccepted applications.
do i need to fill out a separate application for each
show?
yes, please fill out a complete application for each chow you are applying for and mail them in separate envelopes with the show locations written on the front… ie: patchwork show, long beach application
what is patchwork looking for in a vendor?
we are looking for unique products, handmade items, and a variety of creations to give the show a cohesive varied feel. patchwork staff chooses vendors through a juried process based on product originality & quantity in each category.
what does my booth fee include?
your booth fee includes a place for you to set-up. we don’t provide any tents, tables, chairs, electricity or any other set-up items. we also don’t rent additional equipment.
how many vendors show at patchwork events?
we typically have between 80-120 vendors at each show. we usually offer 2 booth sizes, 10x10 (which can be shared with another vendor) and 5x5 (which is for only 1 vendor). we are limited to only 1 booth space per vendor.
can i share a booth?
of course. but you must fill out 2 applications (so we have info & photos for each of you) and submit them in 1 envelope with 1 check.
when will i know if i’m accepted?
the dates for acceptance to the shows are on the applications. you will hear back by the date specified either way.
what if i need to cancel?
if you need to cancel you must do so 4 weeks before the show for a refund of your booth fee. if you cancel after that you forfeit your booth fee.
do i need a seller’s permit?
yes. you must obtain a seller’s permit from the IRS and collect sales tax for all sales. also there may be additional temporary city seller’s permits required- info will be on the application.
what if i’m a food vendor or a non-profit or offer a
service, can i get a booth?
we do offer spaces for other sorts of businesses, but we have a different application process. if you don’t fit into the handmade category, please send us an email to hello@patchworkshow.com.
where can i get an application?
