Welcome to the Artisan Craft Market: Crafting For a Cause in Kernersville, NC hosted by Favored Conferences and Events.  

This market will be hosted in the parking lot of Sutton Brothers Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical, located at 365 W. Bodenhamer Street. This is an outdoors location. 

A portion of the vendor fees will go to support a local non-profit. We have several that we support, but if you know of one that is interested, please let us know. 

You can apply now for these markets.  We have LIMITED space, so please apply as soon as possible. We will be reviewing these applications to ensure the best variety will be present onsite. We may not review applications immediately, but you will not be charged unless accepted. Please reach out with any questions.

Please read and review all terms carefully,  The fees are non-refundable.  Markets will move forward unless severe weather is forecasted. Please plan accordingly. 

We will be selective in our vendor choosing, working to not have multiple vendors of the same product.  We may take a few non-craft vendors, but the markets will focus primarily on HANDMADE artisan craft vendors.
