Become A Vendor!

Opportunities for new and experienced vendors!

We host a diverse range of markets for local artists & makers with handmade/art centric products in the Kansas City area!

Compared to competitive art markets in Kansas City that range from $150-$500 per booth fee, Art Garden KC has continued to maintain an affordable booth rate of $10-$50 depending on the event venue, with no application fees! In Kansas City and nation-wide this is unprecedented for an operation our size and imperative to our mission.

New to vending? Our Berkley Riverfront Festival, through the support of Port KC, functions as a low risk/low barrier entrepreneurial "test kitchen" for new vendors! At Berkley, we support over 60 diverse artists and makers, every Sunday, from April through October. The booth fees for this location are just $10 - ensuring that all creatives, no matter their financial situation, can participate in our events! For new and emerging artists, we provide free canopies and equipment to those in need, on a borrowed basis. Sign-ups are weekly and “first come, first serve”.

As artists, we sympathize with the fear and anxiety many creatives feel when entering a new scene, therefore we make every effort to encourage a supportive, non-competitive environment at our events. We encourage all vendors to work together and support each other, trading professional knowledge and experience.
