HOLLAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – Applications are now being accepted for the 2018 Artisan Market at Tulip Time.
Now in its 18th year, the Tulip Time Art & Craft Fair has been transformed into the new Tulip Time Artisan Market. The event redesign was driven by a desire to focus on artistry, ensure the highest quality, and minimize duplication. The Artisan Market will feature 250 juried artisans with their handmade, original works, set amongst the beautiful tulip beds of Centennial Park in Downtown Holland.
New this year, is an opportunity to view the work of participating Top 20 artists, including the winning artist, from the 2018 Art in Bloom poster competition.
The Artisan Market will be a juried show, ensuring all artists display only handmade and original work. A change this year for vendors is that the application for the 2018 Artisan Market will be processed through ZAPPlication. This system allows vendors to create a profile once and then submit to any of the hundreds of shows registered through ZAPP.
The Timeline for vendors is as follows:
Applications available: Now
Application deadline: Saturday, February 10, 2018
Acceptance notification: Friday, March 2, 2018
Because of tulip bed expansions and additions, the booth layout has been adjusted for 2018. As part of the application process, submitting vendors will be able to indicate a preferred section of Centennial Park. Actual booth numbers will be assigned and announced on Monday, April 2, 2018.
