BLOOMINGTON- The City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation invites local and regional artists to submit an application for consideration for vending space at the annual Holiday Market on Nov. 30 at 401 N. Morton St. in Bloomington, next to City Hall.
Artists may apply online to participate in the Holiday Market or call 812-349-3725 to request an application. There is a non-refundable $20 jury fee per application. To receive full consideration, applications must be received by Aug. 23 at 11:59 p.m.
The 22nd annual Holiday Market, with booth spaces inside City Hall and outside at Showers Common, will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. A limited number of artist booth spaces will also be available indoors.Â
Applications are divided into ten categories: clay, drawing/painting/photography, fiber arts, metalwork/woodwork, glass, jewelry, natural materials, personal care, recycled arts, and surface decoration. Works will be juried, and artists will be selected based on the style and quality of work, price, and variety of artists.
