Calling all artists, makers, and crafters! We are now accepting applications for the 10th edition of GLAM Craft Show, which will be held at First Magnitude Brewery on Sunday, Dec. 2 from 10am to 5pm.
We favor vendors who make unique, handmade, giftable items that are fresh and unexpected, or even edgy and quirky. Vendors who make items for guys, kids, and pets are especially encouraged to apply. Competition for jewelry and bath/body makers is especially intense, given the number of applications we receive in those categories.
Like last year, we have several different options for vendors — an 8′ x 3′ table space in the warehouse, an 8′ x 3′ table space in the beer garden, or a 10′ x 10′ booth space either in the beer garden or in the gravel parking lot (BYOT — bring your own tent). We always receive more applicants than we have room to accept. Because of this, we can’t guarantee that admitted vendors will receive their first choice spots, but we will do our best to find a suitable spot.
This year we are partnering with a local start-up company called Sift Local to manage our application process. The Sift Local platform was designed specifically for artists and makers and is already gaining traction in the maker community, so be sure to check it out.
Deadline to apply is Sunday, Sept. 30 at 11:59 p.m. EST.

Greetings, GLAM friends! I wanted to announce that we’ll be moving the show to a new venue this year. The lovely folks at First Magnitude were kind enough to offer up their venue when our previous spot was up in the air. The major upside of this is that we’ll have plenty of beer on tap, as well as wine and seltzer (they just added those taps). As usual, we’ll also have food trucks on site.
Here at GLAM, we’re all about keeping in local. We started GLAM Craft Show in 2009 to provide a local holiday market for makers in our community. Eight years later, we remain true to these roots. More then 60 vendors in this year’s show hail from the greater Gainesville area. The others hail from Tallahassee, Jacksonville, and Orlando. One is even driving down from North Carolina, though he has family ties in St. Augustine, so we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and count him as a Floridian too.
We love that our partnership with the Community Redevelopment Agency on this project is one small step toward strengthening the fabric of our local community and making Gainesville a better place to live. If you’d like to see more about what’s envisioned for the Power District, check out the CRA’s redevelopment plan 
We are excited to announce that GLAM Craft Show 2016 is on for Sunday, Dec. 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.! We finally received the clearance we were waiting for on the building. We’ll be returning to the GRU Historic Operations Center in Gainesville’s downtown Power District, just northeast of the new Depot Park.
