Holiday Fair Vendor Registration
– DUE SEPT 1st 2025
-- About --
The ISU Women’s Holiday Fair is a beloved handmade market held each November inside the Pond Student Union at Idaho State University. This festive two-day event celebrates the creativity of local artists, crafters, and makers—and serves as the primary fundraiser for the ISU Women’s Club Scholarship Program.
Founded in 1923, the ISU Women’s Club is the university’s oldest campus-affiliated organization. What began as a small gathering of faculty wives has grown into a vibrant community of faculty, staff, retirees, alumni, and friends, all connected by a shared mission: to foster friendship, enrich the ISU community, and support students through scholarships.
Through the Holiday Fair, this mission comes to life. Proceeds from vendor sales and booth fees go directly toward scholarships, helping students pursue their education and dreams. By taking part in the fair, you're not just celebrating handmade art—you're investing in the future of Idaho State University.

-- What's new for 2025 --
We know change can be hard—but after much thought and consideration, we've decided to transition the ISU Women’s Holiday Fair to a juried application process starting in 2025. In the past, vendor spots were filled on a first-come, first-served basis, but with only 50 booth spaces and growing interest, that system no longer supports the balanced, high-quality market we strive to create.
The new juried format allows us to thoughtfully curate a vibrant mix of makers by limiting the number of vendors in each category—such as jewelry, ceramics, glass, fiber, painting, and more. Our goal is to ensure a well-rounded shopping experience while giving all artists a fair and equal opportunity to be part of this beloved event.
But don’t worry—the application process is still simple and entirely online. You’ll be able to upload your photos, provide details about your work, and submit everything with just a few clicks.
