Market Guidelines - Please read, links at bottom.
Two Crows Market (herein TCM) is a juried, handmade goods event. Two Crows is Renmeleon and RockPaperFox (herein Two Crows). Visual & Craft Artists (herein Exhibitors).
Communication is paramount to the event running smoothly. Exhibitors are required to follow-up when contacted so that they do not miss any opportunities provided for them.
We will not accept Exhibitors who sell mass-manufactured merchandise imported from outside Kentucky. It is accepted that using findings or supplies from outside Kentucky is often unavoidable. (i.e. T-shirts must be designer-crafted or hand-printed. Absolutely no mass-manufactured/printed t-shirts from outside the United States will be accepted.)
Products that are wholly made outside the United States are not accepted.
If you are selling "scented" goods such as incense or perfumes, please make sure your products are sealed properly. Scented goods can be reactive for people with allergies. We would like both our other Exhibitors and visitors to enjoy the event.
Weapons of any kind are not allowed, this includes real, prop, or toy guns, blades, or anything with designated use as a weapon.
For compliance to these rules, please include photos or your website and/or social media as a representation of your work.
Any Exhibitors whose merchandise is inconsistent with what was described in their application and depicted in the photographs or website/social will be removed from the show. No refund will be given. There will be no exceptions unless written permission has been given by Two Crows.
