We're so glad you want to join us for the new dates of our 2020 Spring Show! We could not be more grateful for the love and patience of our community, as we navigated the uncharted waters of postponing our event. This March marks the first time in 41 years that the Spring Show did not take place on it's intended dates and we were heartbroken--from our eager customers, to our hardworking team and all of the vendors who rely on our show for sales and to meet new customers for the year ahead. But, after some mourning, we are re-calibrating and planning for the brighter future we want to see! So, we've pinned our new June dates on the calendar and are excited to transform the Spring Show into something exciting and new! We know times are uncertain but together, with our community, we are investing in hope and looking forward to the day when we can unite our loyal customers with our community of makers once again!
WELCOME TO THE MARKETPLACE
This popular tabletop section is a great place for new exhibitors to get their start with One Of A Kind for a fraction of the cost. With your tabletop display space, you'll skip building a big booth so you can really focus on preparing for the show, and the close quarters of this section create a great sense of community onsite. PLUS, exhibitors can participate in the Marketplace for two years, so you'll have the option to grow at your own pace and you'll have a handful of second-time exhibitors on hand to help you navigate the show experience!
