征集公告：2026年达弗林博物馆“节日珍宝”手工艺市集

The Museum of Dufferin’s Holiday Treasures Craft Market 2026 is a juried seasonal market that will showcase over 60 Ontario makers, artists, and craftspeople in the museum’s Main Gallery from November 25 to December 6, 2026. Museum staff handle all sales through a shared point‑of‑sale system, allowing vendors to focus on their practice while their work is displayed and sold. Vendors are responsible for preparing and labeling inventory, setting up displays, and coordinating drop‑off and pick‑up of their items. The market offers strong exposure, a dedicated table space (approximately a 6‑foot table), marketing support, and a 25 % commission (plus HST) on sales that supports the museum. Application is free; selected vendors pay a $56.50 ($50 + HST) vendor fee, which is waived for BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, or disabled‑owned businesses. The call is open to makers of all mediums, including non‑perishable food items that meet health regulations. Applications close on August 21, 2026 at 12 pm ET, with acceptance notifications by September 10, 2026. Selected vendors must submit an inventory sheet by October 20, 2026 and attend set‑up on November 20‑21, 2026.
