INMM "Yard Market"
Artist Guidelines
Market Date: May 2, 2026
Location: The Yard at LaLa Gallery, Downtown Lafayette
Market Hours: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
The "Maker" Standard
The Indiana Makers Market has always been about the heart of the craft. To keep the quality our shoppers expect, all items must be 100% handmade, vintage, or repurposed by the artist. No buy-sell, tiered marketing, or mass-produced imports are permitted. If you didn't make it (or find it in an attic), it doesn't belong in the yard!

Investment (Booth Fee)
Timeline
The "Indiana Spring" Clause (Weather)
This is an outdoor rain-or-shine event. We’ve all survived a Midwest spring before! In the event of extreme, dangerous weather, we will communicate any changes via email and social media.
Tax & Insurance
Artists are responsible for their own Indiana Sales Tax collection and reporting. While we do our best to keep the yard safe, LaLa Gallery and INMM are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged items.
A Little "LaLa" Extra: I’ll have the coffee and chai brewing early for all our vendors. We’re in this together!

Booth Space & Setup
- Space: Each artist will be assigned a 10’ x 10’ spot on the grass.
- Equipment: This is a true "Yard Market." Artists are responsible for their own setups, including tents, weights (required for safety—no stakes in the yard, please!), tables, and chairs.
- Power: Electricity is very limited and will be reserved for vendors who specifically require it for their craft (please note this in your application).
Investment (Booth Fee)
- Selected Artists: $25.00
- Your fee covers your space, the INMM marketing machine (social media, newsletter, and local PR), and the live music on the porch.
- Note: Since I’m a maker too, I know how hard you work for your sales. I don’t take a percentage of your day—what you sell is yours to keep!
Timeline
- Check-in & Load-in: 7:30 AM – 9:30 AM. All vehicles must be moved to off-site parking by 9:30 AM.
- Tear-down: 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM. To respect our shoppers and neighbors, no early pack-ups are allowed.
