Thank you to everyone who applied to Snail Mail! It was so difficult to decide on vendors, some things I take into consideration are:
• I want to have variety in art styles and demographics so I like to look for artists who focus on different mediums (digital art, linocut, watercolor, letterpress, etc.)
• How often I've seen artists at markets, I like to have a mix of newbies and veterans!
• A diverse range of backgrounds from different artists
• People who's work excites and inspires me!
I am so excited to announce the chosen vendors soon! Check back here to see their profiles!

Application fee is $45 and it will take place at the same venue as last year (Anodyne Coffee in Walker's Point). You can find a list of previous vendors from last year below. I am planning on making a stamp rally this year, If you buy from 6 or more vendors you will receive a gift bag!

Just finished the 2026 Snail Mail Poster! I am very happy with how it turned out, I was inspired by Victorian and Art Nouveau designs. Applications will open on December 1st! We’re so grateful to everyone who participated in last year’s market! To keep things fresh and provide opportunities to new vendors, we’re giving priority this year to those who haven’t vended with us before. As a result, we won’t be accepting applications from past vendors for this year’s event. We truly appreciate your support and hope to see you at the market as a guest!
