#1 You’re Part of A juried market

Art-n-Soul is a juried market. We are careful to pick vendors that offer high quality handmade, locally made foods or vintage items.

Every vendor is carefully screened with a commitment to creating a diverse marketplace with the highest quality products available. We are a small market and we make sure that our vendors do not compete with each other—giving each vendor the opportunity to be unique and develop their following.

#2 You’re unique + stand out

Art-n-Soul is always looking for new and creative vendors! We carefully curate each market to have only a certain amount of vendors in each category. This means that we only accept a certain number of jewelry, candle, soap… etc.

This ensures that our vendors are unique and the shopping experience offers a variety of high quality, locally made products to our guests. What makes you stand out?
