Coming Soon: Blossoming Artisans at the Bloom Collective

Retail Space for Local Artists

Starting in October 2025, we will be partnering with Raleigh's newest plant and gift shop, Bloom Collective (formerly The Burnt Pot Cafe) to curate local makers' work to fill their new retail area!

How it Works

For a small fee of $25 a month, vendors can fill a 3-4 ft shelf or tabletop space however they like. Vendors can also choose how customers pay them via a QR code or visible link at their shelf. Vendors are in charge of pricing all of their items and ensuring their space is stocked. 


Vendors can rent their space on a monthly basis, with payments due on the 1st of each month. 

Promotion from Bloom Collective and Hummingbird Market

As part of your monthly fee, Bloom Collective staff will bag your items for customers, as well as keep track of your shelf in case of any damage or low inventory. Bloom Collective and Hummingbird Market will also be posting vendors regularly on our social pages and email newsletters. 


Bloom will also send out a monthly email to all vendors with any updates or suggestions for new ideas to consider. 

High Quality and Handmade

Aligning with our values, Bloom Collective will be looking for high quality, local, and preferably handmade products that are properly labeled and priced.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you're not sure if our markets are right for you, please see our FAQs below! Please reach us at hummingbirdmarketnc@gmail.com if you can't find an answer to your question.

 

Vendors are selected for each market through an application process. We create a google form for prospective vendors to fill out, and we look through the applications to select the vendors we think will be the most successful for the market. Filling out an application DOES NOT guarantee acceptance as a vendor, even if you’ve vended with us before. We love having returning vendors at our markets, but we also need to be fair to newer artists looking to work with us. Due to the volume of vendor interest we receive, all vendor applications MUST be submitted through the google form to be considered. Emails, contact forms and DMs will not be accepted. Vendor applications will be posted throughout the year based on our event schedule. 


 

We typically prefer vendors who emphasize sustainability and nature in their work, but vendors of all mediums are encouraged to apply! We try to have a variety of different mediums and categories such as: painting, illustrations, woodworking, floral arts and crafts, plants, health and wellness products, bath and beauty, jewelry, ceramics etc. 

We are open to vendors who sell food products such as produce, baked goods, canned/jarred goods etc. But, please ensure they have proper packaging with ingredients and allergens listed clearly. 

We strictly prefer handmade, high quality products at our markets. No resellers, AI generated slop, MLMs or subscription services. If your products aren't made by you, they must be sourced locally and sustainably. Our market serves to showcase small, local makers and craftsmen of all experience levels. 


Yes! We’re happy to bring on performers and services such as live painting, fairy hair, henna tattoos, tarot reading, face painting and more. Musicians and bands are also welcome to apply depending on the size of the market.  


No, market experience isn’t necessary! We accept vendors of all experience levels and are happy to bring on new vendors to help them gain experience and network with other vendors. We’re ready to answer any of your questions regarding setup, display and equipment. Please note our guidelines listed above to ensure your products are high quality and retail ready (i.e: packaged, priced, sealed for protection etc. ). 


No, vendors are responsible for all their own display and setup materials. That includes tents, tables, tablecloths, weights, POS, etc.  If you have any special needs for your booth, please let us know ahead of time 


If you’re accepted as a vendor for our market, please make sure you pay your booth fee by the date listed in the “acceptance” email. That will confirm your spot. If you don’t pay your booth fee by the due date, your spot will be given to a waitlisted vendor. We know life happens so if there’s any issues on paying the fee, please reach out!

Leading up to the market, we will assign each vendor a spot based on what booth size they prefer and to ensure variety among the vendors. Each vendor will have a number assigned to their spot to make load-in easier for everyone. Our staff will block off spots and show you where to go and where to park when you arrive. 


Yes, we do charge booth fees and they are non-refundable. The fee will change based on the size of the event and how much space vendors are given. We try our best to keep our fees affordable and we put almost all funds from booth fees directly into advertising and marketing the event. 


Due to a high volume of applications, we may have to waitlist a number of very talented vendors. Please know that no one will ever be completely denied from our market unless they don’t meet the guidelines listed above. If you are waitlisted, we will notify you if there’s a cancellation and a spot opens up. Please keep in mind that some cancellations may be last minute!


We are a rain or shine event! However, if the weather looks nasty and windy, we will postpone the market and move your booth fee over to another date. Booth fees are non-refundable since they are used for advertising. But, we know things happen so if you need to cancel at the last minute please let us know ASAP and we can figure out the best course of action. 

If you no-show, we cannot refund you and we unfortunately will take that into consideration for your acceptance into future markets. We put a lot of time and energy into planning markets, and vendors no-showing without communication affects the vendor setup for everyone.
