Greenbelt Sparkle Mart

The City of Greenbelt’s annual juried show supports regional fine artists, artisans, writers and illustrators in the sale of their own, original creations. Wares typically include handmade furniture, clothing, accessories, tableware, soft goods, toys, ornaments, soaps, candles, seasonings, self-published books, fine arts, prints and cards. Cultural non-profit organizations are also eligible to apply. Vendors must participate on both days. See www.greenbeltmd.gov/arts for more information and applications. Deadline: September 15

Merchandise restrictions: kit crafts and imported crafts are not permitted. Commercially produced goods also are not permitted (with limited exceptions). Home improvement companies, cosmetics companies and other non-arts businesses are not permitted. Edible goods are permitted as long as they meet Maryland state health department guidelines.
