About TheCraftMap
Your complete guide to finding the perfect craft fairs, art shows, and artisan markets
Our Story
TheCraftMap was born from a simple frustration: finding craft fairs shouldn't be this hard.
As craft vendors ourselves, we spent countless hours scouring the internet, jumping between dozens of websites, Facebook groups, and outdated directories just to find events worth applying to. We knew there had to be a better way.
So we built TheCraftMap — a comprehensive, easy-to-use platform that brings together craft fairs from across the country into one searchable database. No more endless searching. No more missed deadlines. No more discovering a great fair the day after applications closed.
