Exhibitor Info
Applewood Arts Festivals values and celebrates artisans who create high-quality, original handmade products. To maintain these standards and provide our shoppers with unique offerings, we ask all artisans to adhere to the following product and booth display guidelines.
1. Your booth may include up to 10% non-handcrafted products, but only if they complement and enhance your handmade items. To qualify, non-original products must be significantly altered or embellished to create a unique, new piece. If an item is not made or meaningfully modified by you, it may not be sold at Applewood Arts.
2. Every artisan MUST have physical barriers to define their space, separate neighboring booths, and create a storefront feel. Barriers cannot exceed 8 feet in height and should span the back and sides of the booth. All components must stay within the designated floor space. Barriers are defined as solid backdrop pieces, fabrics, shelving, racks, etc. Tent frames are fine. If not sure, ask 🙂
3. Tables MUST be covered with tablecloths or coverings that fully extend to the floor on all sides.

Praise from our exhibitors
Jerry and Robin are the most organized and nicest people to work with, they address all concerns crafters have. Their arts & crafts shows are so well put together. I have been doing shows for 25 plus years, and I must say I enjoy being part of their show every year.

47 Bakery benefited greatly from being involved in Applewood events last year, surpassing expectations. Jerry & Robin demonstrated professionalism and creativity through meticulous planning and flawless execution. I highly recommend them for their commitment to excellence—a delightful partnership with 47 Bakery that we're thrilled to continue this year.
Maya Rodgers, 47 Bakery
Applewood Arts Festivals events are well-run and well-attended. Prices for attendees are low and several discounts given to encourage more attendance. Jerry and Robin are present on the floor for vendors and ready to help. Can't say enough about their attention to details!!
Cheryl Carpinello, Tales & Legends
We really like Applewood Arts. Of all the Vendor/ Artisan Hosts, they are just The Nicest People :-). We really appreciate just how much they are Highly Organized, and Professional. And their Communications are Always On-Time, and Clearly Stated. They have always answered every question we have, and in such a Kind & Friendly Manner, too. Thank You Jerry & Robin 🙂

Applewood Arts Festival are first rate events! They think of everything the holiday shopper might need, from coat and package check to a golf cart shuttle to and from your car. They are always organized which makes being a vendor much easier.

Applewood Arts Festivals are wonderful shows. The vendors are dynamic and diverse with great products. Jerry and Robin are super friendly, warm responsive, and well organized. The shows are well publicized and attract crowds ready to buy. Applewood Arts Festivals are some of my must do fairs each year!

Applewood's Holiday Market is a wonderful opportunity for you to purchase a unique handcrafted gift for someone or yourself. I love that they showcase local artists and their hand-crafted items. It is the best market in Northern Colorado.

Jerry and Robin with Applewood Arts Festival are total pros when it comes to the business of craft shows. As an artist/crafter, I’ve participated in many, many shows and can attest to the courtesy and professionalism I’ve experienced in Applewood Arts Festivals. Attendance was good and sales were way above what I expected. A+

Applewood Arts is one of the best shows we do…well organized, advertised, and they bring in the great crowds! It's great to have people come back every year to see us, so we always have new designs to catch their eye! We also love the variation of booths, no two booths are the same.

The Applewood Shows are the best shows in Northern Colorado. They are well attended and well organized. Robin and Jerry go out of their way to accommodate their vendors. I'm looking forward to their new show at the Apex Field House.

Kris Mueller, Time Vault Treasures
What can I say, Applewood Arts Festival is top notch! There are so many high quality, hand crafted festive items to choose from. Truly something for everyone from hand made sweets to hand painted ornaments. The owners, Robin and Jerry pull out all the stops when planning these events which make them so unique. Can't recommend Applewood Arts Festivals enough!
Jess Blackburn, Blackburn Artistry
Applewood Arts? Absolutely! Jerry and Robin are by far the easiest managers to work with, their chosen venues are terrific which of course make things easier for vendors. Their reputation precedes them which is a plus to both vendors and customers - a true win-win situation. We’re proud to be affiliated with them and will continue to do so for years to come!
Julie Becker, Scratch Sweets
