APPLICATIONS
2020 Applications will be delayed until late July or August as we figure out what Mod Shop will look like this year.
MINI MOD SHOP
Mistlin Gallery is hosting Mini Mod Shop aimed at crafty youth age 12-17. This year, we are asking teens who have already participated twice to transition to a regular booth in order to allow new youth the opportunity to participate. Mini Mod Shop will be located at Mistlin Gallery on J Street along side the regular Mod Shop event. All information below also applies to Mini Mod Shop, but we are offering a reduced booth fee of $20. Teen booths are 5' long and 4' deep. Please submit an application using the link above during the regular application period.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Mod Shop is looking for DIY crafters with original items to sell. Cottage food vendors and curated vintage collections are also welcome. Items should be made by hand and not manufactured elsewhere. Products should be unique and distinct from other vendors. Our space is limited and we get many more applications than we can accept. We do sell out each year and approve vendors who fit the Mod Shop vision and contribute to an interesting and diverse shopping experience.
PERMITS
Food vendors must have a cottage food license through Stanislaus County. Please attach a copy of your license to your application. Regular craft vendors do not have to have a business license, Mod Shop will purchase a one day sellers permit on your behalf if you do not have a City of Modesto Business License. Please note, your information will be given to the City of Modesto for this purpose.
ATMOSPHERE
Mod Shop is a busy, loud, fun affair. We attract a wide range of shoppers looking for modern, unique items made by local artists
