Last Chance: Crafters Sought for Grand Central Holiday Fair

The Grand Central Holiday Fair has to be one of the best holiday markets going in the region, so we thought we'd pass along this information to any local arts-vendor types:

Proposals from individual artists, handcrafters and artistic collectives are being considered for Grand Central Terminal’s six-week, 2012 Holiday Fair, which kicks off the Terminal’s Centennial celebrations in November. Applicants can submit photos and brief descriptions of their handmade merchandise online and may get more information about the Holiday Fair at http://www.grandcentralterminal.com/info/holidayfairvendorinfo.cfm.  Deadline for submissions is Thursday, June 14.

Highly selective about the artists chosen to participate, Holiday Fair planners spend the year looking for unique craftspeople, through studio and craft fair visits, as well as online. The range of products and price points guarantees that New Yorkers, commuters and tourists alike will find interesting gift items for others and covet-worthy gifts for themselves.

The annual Holiday Fair takes over Grand Central Terminal’s historic Vanderbilt Hall each holiday season with more than 70 booths featuring  art, children’s clothing, accessories, handbags, home goods, men’s and women’s apparel, jewelry, and bath and body products. Since its inception in 1993, the Holiday Fair has been a must-shop destination during the holiday season, and the longest-running indoor holiday market in New York City.

The 2012 Fair runs November 12 – December 24. Questions about the application process can be sent to info@grandcentralterminal.com.
