Interested in being an Exhibitor?

The Creative Chaos Festival has a long-standing reputation for showcasing high-quality, unique handmade work from across Canada. We’re always looking for artisans offering original, well-crafted products in a wide variety of categories.

Handmade Policy: All work must be handmade by the exhibitor. No reselling, no repackaging, and no commercially manufactured items.

How Selection Works: As in previous years, we select participants through a lottery-style draw by category shortly after the application deadline. Categories are filled from the draw until full. Once a category is full, we create a waitlist for applicants who were not selected. Applications received after the deadline are automatically placed on the waitlist.
