ABOUT PRODUCT SCREENING
All products must be screened and accepted before being sold at the Saturday Artisan Market. The products are reviewed according to the general craft guidelines. Applicants should submit three (3) photos of their work and one (1) of their work space/studio in Jpeg format Please email to?info@buffalosaturdayartisanmarket.com
The general craft guidelines are
1. Items must be handmade, or grown or gathered by the Maker artist or a artist of their immediate family living in New York or a partner in craft living in New York.
2. The Maker’s contribution to a finished product must outweigh the contribution of any commercial components used in the making of that product. Skills in craftsmanship, as well as creative abilities, ingenuity and design skills are examples of artist contribution.
3. The product must meet basic expectations of product life, function and safety.

ARTIST DEMONSTRATIONS
We encourage all of the artists accepted to demonstrate how their art is created. We understand that not every studio is portable but if there is some aspect of the process that can be demonstrated that should be incorporated into your set up.

PARKING
There is a 20-minute parking limit when loading and unloading. After unloading your vehicle, please park your vehicle promptly and then come back and set up your booth. There is street parking and paid parking in lots around Canalside. Do not park in NO PARKING zones. You will be ticketed. Do not block access ramps while loading/unloading.

GETTING INVOLVED IN YOUR MARKET
The Saturday Artisan Market will rely on artist input for guidance and inspiration.
