Description

MidPoint Indie Craft Fair is a FREE curated exhibition and sale of handmade alternative arts and crafts produced by CityBeat during this September’s MidPoint Music Festival. The craft fair will take place in the MidPoint Village located in Washington Park.

The event is coming to Cincinnati for the second year, based on an extremely successful event created by CityBeat’s sister paper, the Washington City Paper. Its version, called Crafty Bastards, DC, is now in its 13th year. Like Crafty Bastards, the MidPoint Indie Craft Fair is a free event, which will also showcase live performances throughout the day on the Washington Park Gazebo Stage.

Cincinnati’s 20-year-old alternative newsweekly, CityBeat has always promoted underground art and strives to connect the voice and vision of the indie craft community with our readers. We are holding this fair to create an experience during the MidPoint Music Festival allowing the urban consumer to discover unconventional, hard-to-find arts and crafts, meet the artists and even try their hand at making something themselves. Guests will also be able to visit the Craft Beer Village to sip on a beer while shopping.

Applications are due by August 16th. Participants will be notified by email by August 18th about participation. The non-refundable application fee is $20. Participation Booth fee if accepted is $150 for the two-day event for a 10 x 10 area. (Please note: Participants will be responsible for their own tent/table/chairs, etc.)

Please fill out the full application and send 4-6 example pictures of products / wares that you plan to sell at your booth to: lmeisner@citybeat.com. (Be sure to include your business name in the subject line of your email.)

The MidPoint Indie Craft Fair is an exciting addition to the ever-evolving MidPoint Music Festival. We look forward to spreading the word about all that Cincinnati’s craft community has to offer.

"This was one of my best shows last year. Everything was so well put together, and there was good array of vendors, which is rare for a first time show."  - Katherine Powis / Dear Pennyroyal
