Renegade Craft Fair

Renegade Craft Fair: craft and design fairs in the United States

Renegade Craft Fair is an organization dedicated to hosting craft and design fairs, founded by artists for artists in 2003. According to its own presentation, it was the first event of its kind and has built a grassroots movement across the United States and beyond. Its stated mission is to create vibrant platforms for creatives to gather, grow, and thrive.

Cities with established marketplaces

Over more than two decades, the organization has established active marketplaces in five U.S. cities: Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, and Seattle. These locations are presented as the main hubs where its fairs are held on a recurring basis.

Events in other cities

In addition to its permanent marketplaces, Renegade Craft Fair has organized events in other cities throughout its history, including Portland, Austin, Detroit, Denver, Boston, Miami, and London. This expansion reflects the national and international reach the organization has developed since its beginnings.

Participation of creatives and exhibitors

The organization invites creatives to sell their work, grow their business, and join its creative community through an application process. The website includes a specific section to apply as an exhibitor, indicating that artists and designers can apply to participate in the fairs.

Calendar and communication

Renegade Craft Fair maintains a calendar of events, with an annual schedule published on its website. The organization also offers a newsletter to stay informed about fair dates, application openings, and other related news. For general inquiries, information about fairs, sponsorship, press, media, or partnership ideas, the organization provides a contact form and an email address.
