Annual WFU Artisans’ Fair calls for vendors to register by Nov. 10

October 26, 2021

This is a guest post from organizers of the annual Artisans’ Fair at Wake Forest University.

The annual Wake Forest Artisans’ Fair will return to an in-person format this year. The fair will be held on Friday, Dec. 3, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the Benson University Center.

Are you gifted in woodworking, arts, crafts, etc. and want to share your hand-made products with other Wake Foresters?

If you are a WFU employee (staff or faculty), spouse of a WFU employee, retiree or student, you are eligible to participate. Tables will be spread out to allow for social distancing, so vendor reservations will be on a first-come, first-served option until all spots have been filled.

Complete this vendor registration form to join the 2021 Artisans’ Fair.

Submission must received no later than Nov. 10; spaces are limited and granted on a first-come, first served basis.

New this year:

On July 1, 2021, the University established a “Community Connect” licensee program, which permits local artisans to create and sell handmade Wake Forest themed products throughout the year, including at the annual WFU Artisans’ Fair. Handcrafters license holders are permitted to sell up to $2,500 or 500 items per year.

Wake Forest Athletics fan experience is also working to provide opportunities for licensed handcrafters to showcase their products at athletic events. The cost of the license is $200 per year, plus the licensee must secure liability insurance.

The Community Connect license may be obtained via the Collegiate Licensing Company by visiting login.directlicensinghub.com. For more information, please contact Rhett Hobart, Wake Forest Athletics Fan Experience, at 336.758.5009 or hobartr@wfu.edu.
