The Kennesaw Downtown Development Authority, and City of Kennesaw Art and Culture Commission announce a Call for Artists to participate as vendors in the first Kennesaw Holiday Market.

The application deadline is 5 p.m. Nov. 8.

The market will be held from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Dec. 4.

“The inspiration for the Holiday Market came from the traditional German Christmas markets I am familiar with,” said Kennesaw Downtown Development Authority member Leslie Steinle.

“I am excited to create another community event - not in the heat of summer - to bring people to Historic Downtown Kennesaw,” Steinle added.

Merchandise should be handmade/crafted, locally produced and suitable for holiday gifts.

No commercially produced items or direct sales items will be accepted.

Examples of item categories include original artwork, crocheted/knitted goods, candles, glassware/ceramics, jewelry, woodcrafts, bath goods, food items (with appropriate cottage licensing) and children’s gifts.

A limited number of scholarship booths are available at no charge to nonprofits, student organizations, first-generation refugee/immigrant groups from developing countries or similar groups.

Scholarship applicants should complete the scholarship section of the application and provide a copy of the 501(c)(3) or other relevant documentation of the group’s organizational status.
