Sell for $25. Contribute for free.

The fee is based on whether you sell—not whether you are a maker, company, or individual. Participation must be approved before payment is requested.

$25 Selling Booth

For any approved participant selling products or goods at RENEW.

Free Community Contribution

For approved teaching, demonstrations, mentoring, or career sharing with no sales.

$50+ Optional Sponsorship

For a business or participant who wants to contribute additional support to RENEW.

Do not send payment with this application. If accepted, the RENEW team will confirm your participation and provide payment instructions when a fee applies.

Makers and visitors gather among repurposed furniture, plants, lamps, and reclaimed-wood goods at an open-air market.
