Market FAQ's

Clear answers to help you navigate the Interwoven market experience with confidence.

When/where is Interwoven Market being held?

This year's event will take place on Thursday October 15, 2026 from 4-9pm, Friday October 16th from 10am-5pm and Saturday October 17th from 10am-5pm at the Pendleton Convention Center at 1601 Westgate Pendleton, OR 97801.

Is the market juried? What do you look for in potential vendors?

Interwoven Market is a carefully curated juried event. We want to ensure the artists and local businesses we feature create unique, high quality goods that are innovative and original. No factory made items are allowed in Interwoven Market, with exceptions for vintage dealers and folks repurposing/recycling items in new and unique ways or original artwork prints. After reviewing all applications, we look for the following criteria to help determine who is accepted to participate in Interwoven Market:

How your items fit in with our vision of the Interwoven event and Market; innovative and original items produced using traditional art/craft methods or related to western or Indigenous heritage.
The quality, innovation and uniqueness of your wares and marketability.
The overall cohesiveness and consistency of your work.
If your work falls more into the categories of Fine Art, Fine Craft, Fair Trade Goods, High Fashion, Vintage, or Indigenous.
The number and diversity of designs or products you offer, we want to keep our Markets fresh and exciting for shoppers!
We are committed to providing an inclusive and representational market experience. We value cultural balance, ensuring artists have equal opportunities to share and sell their work

What type of photos are you looking for?

Your photos are a very important part of your application. We make our decisions based upon your currently submitted photos and the information you provide in your application.

We expect to see photos of current work, which need to be sharp, clear, bright photos of single items and of several items together. We also expect to receive a photo of your booth display showing your typical product line.

How many booths are available, what size are they, and what are the design requirements?

Interwoven Market will have room for roughly 70 booths. Each space is 10' wide and 10' deep. Vendors are responsible for bringing their own display, including tables and chairs to fit within their booth space. All booth parts and pieces must be freestanding and must fit completely within the dimensions (without any portion overhanging aisles or neighboring booths). There are also no walls for leaning on or attaching to. Tents are not allowed. Power is available, you will be able to request it up to three weeks prior to the event. You will know the location of your booth space 1-2 weeks prior to the Market.

Can I join with a friend?

Sure! Please apply using separate applications, but list the business you would like to share with in space provided on each application. No last minute additions of other makers or their items are allowed in your booth. If selected the payment in-full should be submitted.

Participation at Interwoven Market is priced per-booth, so there is no additional cost for sharing a booth. We recommend setting up a mock booth in the 10' wide x 10' deep size restriction before applying jointly to make sure it’s enough space for both of you.

Can I apply for 2 booth spaces?

Yes, we will have a limited number of double booths available. The fee will be $400 for a double booth.

How will I know if I’m accepted?

You should receive an auto reply once your application is submitted. You will receive an email from us either way (accepted or not) on or around July 1, 2026. If you do not receive an email from us at that time, please check your junk mail folder.

Is there a fee if I am accepted?

Yes, each vendor who participates in Interwoven Market will be responsible for paying their vendor fee within one week of receiving the acceptance email. This year's fee is $250 per booth and goes towards all the costs to run a successful Market.

Selected vendors must pay their full booth fee by the date emailed by the organizers or forfeit participation in Interwoven Market. Once vendors are notified and payment is made, no refunds will be offered if a cancellation is made. If a vendor does cancel, their spot in the Market is forfeited and they are not permitted to sell or trade their booth space.

Does Interwoven Market take a commission?

100% of all sales go directly to the makers in our community who keep all proceeds from their sales.

Are permits needed to sell at Interwoven Market?

Yes. We will send you the necessary information about this via email once you are accepted. It is your responsibility to make sure that you have all the necessary permits and licenses required in order to sell at the Market. Interwoven Market is not responsible for checking permits, or checking to make sure you are properly licensed.

All vendors must obtain a local special event business license for a small fee (https://www.pendletonor.gov/media/7151). We will not verify your license; it is your responsibility to secure and submit the required documentation.

How do I accept payment from shoppers?

You will also be responsible for accepting your own payment in whatever form you choose (credit card, cash, check, etc.) at the Market and should come equipped to do so.

How do I set up my booth?

You are required to sign up for a load-in and load-out time when provided by the organizers, and be at your booth to sell during all public Market hours. Packing up your booth before the event ends is not allowed.

Load-in will take place on Thursday October 15th. All vendors must be set up and ready to sell by 4pm that day. It is your responsibility to bring people and necessary transportation tools (dollies, carts, boxes, etc.) to help you load in, move your vehicle, carry items and set up in an efficient and timely manner.

Load-out will take place on Sunday October 18th, please remain in your booth spot until your assigned time. We will notify vendors if earlier spots open up.

Promo/Marketing

Vendors agree to promote their work/attendance at Interwoven Market throughout the months leading up to the event on all my social media channels, including but not limited to website, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, blog, place of business, etc. Interwoven Market will create the Facebook/social media event, so please do not create one of your own. Vendors will notify organizers if they are approached by anyone outside of our Markets for a giveaway, promo, etc. on behalf of the Market. Market organizers have permission to use the photos submitted with vendor applications for marketing materials (with credit given, of course). If selected to participate In Interwoven Market, official marketing/branding materials will be provided for your use.

Safety & liability

Vendors will act with the highest regard for the safety of the attendees and other participants of the Event, and will adhere to all laws, policies, rules, and regulations applicable to the goods and/or activities, including obtaining all licenses, permits, and approvals that may be required to enable the vendor to conduct its activities at the Market and fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.
