Who should apply to vend at Hudson Valley Hullabaloo?
While we do not curate our event to fit a particular aesthetic, this is a juried event. The work usually skews more modern with established businesses, than crafty/hobby. A goal of ours is to help small businesses gain more exposure in an effort to help with long term growth. We look for vendors who are committed to their craft and offer unique, high-quality items. The range of styles, philosophies, and sensibilities represented by Hullabaloo vendors is diverse. However, in effort to offer well-made, unique, and relevant items ($5-$250) to our shoppers, we do have certain required criteria. Please see last year’s vendor page for examples of types of items and price points.
We’re looking for:
Makers who are engaged with their work and committed to their craftsmanship.
Artists, designers, and craftspeople who are taste-makers and trend-setters that have a cohesive product line.
High-quality, well-made, design-focused products that are unique, and modern.
Vendors from the Hudson Valley and the surrounding areas. We aim to have a large percentage of the event be Ulster County based companies.
Great branding, packaging, website, and social media accounts.
Handmade items that fit the season, are you selling something geared towards the holiday gift giving season? Our shoppers are mainly looking for holiday gifts!
We need to be able to see pricing for specific items, if you do not have an online store, please send us a pricing list that includes photos.
Returning vendors: We LOVE our past vendors and we do tend to give them preference if they meet the above criteria and this additional requirement: We hope to see development and evolution in your work—whether in a new line or new products, experimentation with different techniques and materials, expanded offerings, or some other demonstration of intent to offer fresh and exciting items to our many returning shoppers.
We do not allow Premier Jewelry, LuLaRoe... sellers, companies who use stock art/photos, etc.
-We want all of vendors to do well at our event; therefore, if we feel that your work isn’t a good fit for Hullabaloo, you may not be accepted.
-We also reserve the right to turn down applications based on our goal of offering a diverse range of items. Space is limited, and we want to curate a diverse group of makers while avoiding saturating any categories.
-Please understand that our inability to accept your application is not necessarily a reflection on your work or talent. Declining your application this year does not mean to not apply in the future.
-You may just need to expand your line, work on your packaging/display, wait for an opening within your category, etc. Applications are extremely competitive and we receive far more applications than we have space for. Please do not apply if you do not have product images, or things completed, we cannot accept companies based on what you think you will have ready by November.
Manufactured goods:
We do not accept vendors selling manufactured goods (no Premier Jewelry, LuLaRoe, etc.), or vendors who sell items produced outside the US. Applications from these types of vendors will be turned down, vendors who bring these types of items to Hullabaloo may be asked to remove them from their display and/or leave the event. Hullabaloo is a carefully curated handmade shopping event. We require that all items are designed and/or made by you or your employee(s).
Vintage goods:
We may accept a few carefully selected sellers of high-quality, well-curated vintage items. If you are not applying as a vintage vendor, please do not bring used or vintage items to sell at Hullabaloo (although handmade vendors may use vintage materials to create new pieces—e.g. clothing made with vintage fabric, original artwork on repurposed wood, etc.).
If you think you share our vision and that your work meets these criteria, we encourage you to apply today. We hope to Hullabaloo with you!
My work fits the above criteria…What else do I need to know?:
Applications close: September 4th.
