AVA Collective at the Botanical Artisan Market

Welcome to the Botanical Artisan Market application!  We are so excited to work with the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens this year. We can't wait to curate a wonderful vendor market during the opening of their Spring Floral Exhibit. See more at the link below: https://www.buffalogardens.com/events/botanical-artisan-market/

Friday April 4th: 5pm - 8pm 

2655 South Park Avenue 

Buffalo, NY 14218

There is a $50 vendor fee that will be charged upon acceptance.  Vendors will be selected on Wednesday March 5th, so please ensure you have adequate funds in your linked account, as we are unable to accept your application if not.

The vendor fee is NON-REFUNDABLE under any and all circumstances. If you are accepted and your brand is unable to vend, unfortunately you will forfeit your spot.

What kinds of vendors are we looking for?

For this market, we are primarily looking for innovative and creative vendors that use florals and foliage in their work, in order to match the Gardens' theme.  If that does not apply to you, then this may not be the AVA event for you.

What is included in the $50 vendor fee?

One 6'-table and two chairs will provided for each vendor at their indicated spot.  In addition, this fee includes logistical communication, event organization, and social media marketing from AVA Collective. 

All vendors must have their own NYS Sales Tax ID and Certificate of Authority in order to vend.  AVA Collective is not responsible for any artisan that fails to meet these necessary requirements.

There is no application fee for this event.  The only fees that will be charged are the $50 vendor fee, plus NYS tax and Eventeny fees, upon acceptance.  If the connected account does not have adequate funds during the jury selection, then we are unable to approve your application.

Once you are accepted as a vendor, communication will primarily take place via email

PLEASE NOTE: This is an EVENING event within an active environment with an uncontrollable atmosphere.  That includes moisture, dirt/soil, uneven ground, etc. that could potentially damage fragile goods.  By vending at this event, each artisan is solely responsible for their inventory for the entirety of the market.  In addition, each vendor must supply their own supplemental lighting for their set-up, as the lighting will be dark due to the open greenhouse windows
