Tattoo Arts & Crafts Fair Vendor Application
August 23, 2-9pm; August 24, 12-9pm
The Foundry Art Centre and Oasis Studio & Gallery are teaming up to present the Tattoo Arts and Crafts Fair, a part-tattoo, part-convention, part-arts-and-crafts fair to bring together the best local tattoo artists and craft artisans to the St. Louis and St. Charles areas.
Booths presenting tattoos and fine art, live demonstrations, artist talks, food trucks, live music, and lots of tattoos will be featured throughout the Foundry’s Grand Hall. Awards include Tattoo of the Day and Best Booth of the Show.
This event is presented in conjunction with Missouri Ink, a tattoo exhibition, featured in the Foundry’s Main Gallery.
To Apply
This unique event will go beyond the current commercialized tattoo convention model, instead sharing a focus on artists that are at the intersection of tattoo design, fine art, and fine craft. Further, this will be promoted as a community and family event.
We are encouraging artists and artisans to fill their booth with arts and crafts items, live demos, and other merchandise along with tattooing. We would love to have as many combo booths as possible; however, we are accepting tattoo-only booths or craft-only booths.
This is a juried event, and booths will be selected until all booths are filled. Selections will be made based on the Fair’s mission, curating an inclusive and collaborative community event.
