Yes, you may share a booth with one other vendor. Both applicants must apply at the same time in order for either application to be considered. The two applications are juried as a whole, and the results of the jurying will be the same for both vendors.

PLEASE NOTE: West Coast Craft does not pair vendors.

The WCC jury considers many things when discussing applications: technique, skill level, use of material, branding, website design, and price point. The jury seeks work that blurs the line between fine art and craft, traditional and modern design, and reflects larger trends while exploring new ideas. WCC looks for ethical practices in every stage of the design and production of all work, and is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive roster of vendors.

No, WCC accepts vendors whose work exemplifies the ethos of the West Coast regardless of where they are from.

The WCC Scholarship Program awards four 6’x10’ booths to emerging designers and artists, with two of the booths reserved for applicants of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Requirements for applying for a WCC Scholarship booth:
• You have not taken part in a craft or design show with 50+ vendors
• Two to three sentences describing why you and your work should be selected

Requirements for applying for a WCC Diversity Scholarship booth:
• Identifying as a person with a diverse racial or ethnic background
• Two to three sentences describing why you and your work should be selected

You can only apply for a regular booth or a scholarship booth, but not both. If you apply for both, neither application will be considered, and scholarship applicants will not be considered for a regular booth if not accepted.

Scholarship applicants are only responsible for the non-refundable $25 application fee, and should they be accepted, for any additional rental charges (e.g., tables, chairs).
