Made in Tucson market is held along 7th street between 4th and 6th avenues, in the heart of the 4th Avenue district.

Made in Tucson is a one-day market. The market begins at 10 am and goes until 5 pm, rain or shine.

Between vendors, organizers and attendees, parking near the event can be a challenge. We suggest parking at either Banner Hospital or by the Mercado San Agustin and taking the streetcar, which will drop you off right at the start of the market on 4th avenue and 7th street. There are also many parking garages around the area if you’d like to get some steps in. Just remember your comfortable shoes- there is a lot to see!

Made in Tucson accepts artists and makers from all experience levels- whether you’re a seasoned pro or just emerging, we’d love to see what you do! It doesn’t matter if your follower count is 5 or 50,000- all applicants will be considered.

Possibly! Made in Tucson features artists and makers exclusively based in Pima County, so if that’s you, we encourage you to apply. Since we receive a high volume of applications, we do have to jury prospective vendors. We also require that you have a current business license to participate.

As long as your friend fills out the application, resides in Pima County, has a current business license, and has also been accepted into the market, you are welcome to share a booth. Artists who have not applied or have not been accepted cannot participate. Also- artists need to sell their own work- no selling work you didn’t make yourself.

Possibly! If your food truck is based in Pima County, we will consider it! We do have limited space for food trucks available, so your patience is appreciated while we finalize our market footprint. Please fill out the Food Vendor application regardless.

Made in Tucson market showcases artists and makers who reside within Pima County only.

You can contact the City of Tucson Business License office to inquire about a special event permit or possibly get a prorated license. Since we work so closely with the city and we are required to share our vendor list with them, we do require that our participating vendors have one.

Love it or hate it, having social media to support your art business is pretty commonplace these days. We do ask for your social media link on the application- this is how we view your work. We can’t really see what you’re all about without it. We ask that youplease don’t send us images via email- with so many applications, it makes it very hard to keep organized. Please keep it to the requested links only.

Additionally, this market is organized by a group of volunteers, and promotion for Made in Tucson is by word of mouth. We need everyone participating to have social media so that they can also share and promote the event. 

Absolutely! But please keep in mind that it’s a request, not a given. We will do the best we can to accommodate you, but many folks have requested and due to the complexities of working with the city, things come up and occasionally we have to relocate spaces. Your patience and flexibility are appreciated!

Vendors are responsible for their own setup tents (if applicable), weights, tables, chairs, displays, signage, products, wrapping materials, bags- whatever you need for your sales day. Vendors are responsible for managing their own sales. Please come prepared- we do not have the ability to make changes for anyone.

Made in Tucson does not provide access to power sources. If you need to bring a generator, that's fine, but please be mindful of your neighboring vendors.

The best way to stay in the loop about important dates for Made in Tucson Market, as well as other events hosted by Made in Tucson, would be to follow both @madeintucsonmarket and @4thavecoalition on social media. Opportunities will be announced there first.

Made in Tucson is organized by a group of local creatives and small business owners. Funds from Made in Tucson go right back into community projects like murals, events, and running the year-round Coalition Space at 311 E 7th St. Made in Tucson Market is our flagship event, we are not involved or affiliated with the 4th Avenue Street Fair.

While we would love to include everyone who applies, the fact is- we are still dealing with limited space. That means that we have to review every application. Other factors may include if you are not a resident of Pima County, if you don’t provide links to your work, or if your work includes offensive material (racist, sexist, culturally appropriative, or otherwise inappropriate.)
