Vendor Requirements:
If you identify with any identity in the LGBTQIA2S+ community this market is for YOU. This market is to make space for openly queer artisans and to create a safe community for them in Indianapolis.
All other allies or non-queer identifying persons are asked respectfully to abstain from applying to the email list for this market.
Applications are open for only 2-3 weeks at a time and will be emailed to potential vendors directly during that time.
The best way you can support Indy Gay Market if you are not queer is to come and shop with our vendors when our markets are held.
All questions can be emailed to hannah@indygaymarket.com
