Market Days 2026

Thank you for your interest in Market Days, a premier juried arts and crafts show held in Tallahassee, Florida. 

Market Days is one of the Southeast’s largest and best-juried arts and crafts shows, featuring the unique, handmade creations of over 300 artists and top-quality artisans and craftspeople. Market Days offers a beautiful array of works in various price ranges, from breathtaking fine art to charming stocking stuffers. The works include fine arts, ceramics, country furniture, stained glass, woodwork, glasswork, dolls, clocks, pottery, jewelry, sculpture, metalwork, clothing, photography and calligraphy. This event is largely volunteer-run, and all proceeds go to support the Tallahassee Museum whose mission is to inspire people to transform their lives, community, and the world through an enhanced understanding of our region's natural and cultural environments.

All arts and crafts media are eligible. Items submitted must be the original work of the Artist or Craftsman applying. This show is promoted as an arts and crafts show, not buy/sell. You must disclose any items submitted on your application that are not made by you but are a necessary part of your original work. Artists can only display and sell work that has been juried.

The Arts and Crafts Chair and Committee will have final approval on all acceptance/rejections, placement and reserves the right to remove misrepresented or inappropriate materials from the show.

If your exhibit contains school or sport logos, you must have your trademark licensing information with you. Reproductions of the images submitted by artists who are accepted may be used for publicity.

Applications will not be juried without payment. 
In order to be juried for Market Days, you must pay the non-refundable $35 application fee and a $100 booth deposit at time of application. If you are not accepted your booth deposit will be refunded to you. If you are accepted to the show and paid the booth deposit, the remaining balance of your booth fee will be due no later than October 15th. No money will be refunded after the date of October 15th. If payment is not received, you are subject to lose your booth deposit and space at the show. The committee will assign all spaces and honor any space request, whenever possible, based on availability.

Categories: Our Jury is broken down into categories, i.e., jewelry, woodcraft, food, wearable art, etc. If you have more than one product in your booth, you must list your products. Due to the number of applications we receive for the jewelry category, if you have jewelry of any kind in your booth, jewelry is the category in which you will be juried. Example: If your primary product is woodcraft and you also make jewelry to sell, your jewelry will take precedence and you will be juried in the jewelry category.

Digital Media: Artists and craftsmen must submit at least (3) three high-resolution digital images: (1st image) making your product, and (2nd & 3rd images) showing your current completed work.  In addition to those, you are required to upload one (1) high-resolution digital image of your booth in the Booth Shot Section. 

To be considered for use in advertisements, images must be of excellent quality, in good condition, and representative of the work you will sell. Pictures will become part of the Market Days archives.
