Here’s one sure sign that spring’s coming.
Artisanal L.A. is looking for some talented makers for their upcoming Spring Show. They just began accepting applications on January 20th, with an early-application deadline of February 18th.

Now, if you haven’t attended Artisanal L.A. before, this show is, quite literally, yummy.
It’s all about the local food scene in Los Angeles–with workshops, DIY classes, author appearances and approximately a hundred hand-selected vendors offering fresh-baked bread, sauces, meats, hand-dipped chocolates, handcrafted coffees, pastries and lots more tempting things.
Artisanal L.A. is a curated event; they’re looking for both irresistible handcrafted delectables and crafts that appeal to urban farmers, kitchen enthusiasts, chefs and anyone else who loves raising and preparing something delicious. All products must be made in the U.S.A.
In addition, Artisanal L.A.’s website says that, while they are not a jewelry or fashion showcase, they occasionally accept vendors in these areas if the items offered would be relevant to their audience. (Tote bags suitable for a farmers’ market are one example they give.)
Like to know more about showcasing your luscious independently handcrafted treats–or your imaginative housewares, kitchenware or gardening goods? Here’s a link for more information.
Not a “maker” in this area, but hoping to attend? Artisanal L.A.’s tickets go on sale in February–and in addition to their shopping, learning and tasting possibilities (we can recommend the hand-dipped chocolates, but that’s up to you!), they’re planning some surprises, with an expanded urban farming and gardening section!
Artisanal L.A.’s Spring Show happens Saturday and Sunday, April 25 and 26, at Magic Box at THE REEF, in downtown Los Angeles. Tickets go on sale in February. For consideration as a vendor, here is the application link.
