As part of our 2025 SAQA Conference in St. Petersburg, Florida (April 3-5), Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) will host a "Vendor Marketplace" for conference attendees from all over the world. This is a unique opportunity to reach a special group of consumers. The Vendor Marketplace will run concurrent with attendee registration for the conference. This event will also be open to the public.
We are seeking suppliers for a vendor display for our attendees, avid fiber artists from around the world who enjoy incorporating beautiful fibers and embellishments in their artwork. As examples, we are seeking hand-dyed fabrics in all colors and fiber content; paints, dyes, stamps and stencils; yarns, threads, woven fabric, roving; wooden or glass beads, and wearables that incorporate these materials. Our members appreciate and collect unique and/or hand-made items as opposed to mass-produced.
Limited spots are available - applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Final deadline: January 15, 2025
Location: Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront 333 1st St S. St. Petersburg Florida 33701 US
