How do I become a Puces POP vendor?
Every Puces POP fair is curated to bring the community a diverse and consistently evolving selection of artwork. We receive many more applications than we can accept, so we encourage everyone (both new and returning vendors) to spend time putting together their best possible application. We send out the call for vendors with full application requirements roughly two months before each fair. To make sure you receive the vendor call and find out about upcoming submission deadlines, join the Puces POP mailing list.
