We accept vendors in all categories—whether you're an emerging creative or established small business owner (10 employees* or less).
As a 501c3 nonprofit, all of our booth fees are subsidized by community donations, as well as our sponsors and partners. This means that the cost of your booth directly covers the cost of your participation within the market—and nothing more.
*If your business has 10 or more employees, please contact us about sponsored booth opportunities at hello@futurefronttexas.org.

✰ STEP NO. 3 —
After you fill out the PDF download sent to your email, your application will be sent to our volunteer community curatorial team.
Your application fee covers the cost of this curatorial step—and it works in your favor. Our community-curated approach keeps The Front Market fresh and honest, allowing a mix of new and long-time vendors into the market, while reducing curatorial bias.
Our curatorial team varies with every market season, and all of our markets are curated with an equity lens. Currently, due to our size and capacity, we can only accommodate 50% to 75% of all applications we receive.
So, even if you are not accepted into The Front Market, you are 10/10 encouraged to apply again. ❣️ We are working diligently to increase the number of booths we have available per year.
What vendors have to say —
“It was my first ever market event, and despite having absolutely no idea what to expect, it couldn’t have been a better start. I am so grateful to The Front Market’s amazing team for all their hard work and hands-on care, it really meant a lot to me as a maker.”
“Y’all have been our mentors. You’ve made us see that this is possible now. We’ve learned what it means to invest authentically and make that a foundational part of our business.”
“The market was awesome. Everyone was kind, friendly and very supportive—from the coordinators to the security to the vendors to the customers. We made more than our launch day! It was an amazing experience and I would do this over and over again.”
“Thank you for putting on such an incredible event yesterday. I had such a blast and came away fired up to continue improving my business and supporting other makers. Thanks for always empowering and supporting us; it was such an honor!”
