VENDORS

If you’re interested in becoming a vendor, please contact vendor@selfhelpgraphics.com.

In support of local artists and artisans, Self Help Graphics & Art produces seasonal craft and art fairs that feature unique and distinctive fine art, crafts, jewelry, decor, clothing, and houseware by local artists and artisans.

Influenced by the Mesoamerican tianguis (marketplace) and as one of the nation’s longest running artist pop-ups, SHG‘s Holiday Marketplace has provided artists from the Eastside a platform to connect to a national base of patrons, consumers, and collectors.

The Mercadito de Amor and the Holiday Marketplace offer an opportunity to get meaningful and unique gifts while supporting local artists and small businesses. Normally, the Holiday Marketplace features demonstrations, workshops, and artists’ talks for those in attendance.

Lastly, the Annual Print Fair (APF), typically held during the summer, highlights new prints from SHG’s Professional Printmaking Program and exclusively sells fine prints from SHG’s collection over the years.
