    1st Floor Lobby & Beshore Performance Hall
    Friday, March 27, 5:00pm - 8:00pm
    Saturday, March 28, 10:00am - 3:00pm

    Step into the spotlight at Spiva in Bloom! We extend a special invitation to our member artists and artisans to showcase their wares by securing a booth at this annual signature event. This is a high traffic time for patrons to enjoy our annual floral exhibit and related events as well as purchase some unique works. While we encourage artists to embrace the spirit of spring and floral themes in their works, it's important to note that this is not a requirement.

    Calling all artists! We invite our member artists and makers to reserve a booth and be part of this exciting event. There is a limit of 15 spots available, and preregistration is required by March 20th. Don't miss the chance to shine at Spiva in Bloom!

    Event Details & Guidelines:
    Booth Fee: $40 per booth, with one artist per booth. Secure your spot by clicking the button on this page.
    Membership: Artists must be current Spiva members to participate.
    Booth Requirements: Each booth space is approximately 6ft x 9ft. Vendors must bring their own tables, tablecloths, and point-of-sale systems. Due to the many Spiva in Bloom Events happening in the building, we will be unable to offer 6’ tables, but two chairs will be provided. Please reach out if this is a concern. Limited electricity will be available—please bring your own 3-prong extension cords if needed.
    Booth Locations: Booths will be located on the 1st floor lobby of the Cornell Complex as well as inside the Beshore Performance Hall.
    Setup and Teardown: Setup begins at 3:00pm on Friday, March 27th. Booths will be secured inside the Cornell Complex overnight. Vendors are expected to stay until the market closes at 3:00pm on Saturday, March 28th.
    Vendor Contribution: Each vendor is kindly asked to donate an item for our chance drawing baskets. Customers will complete a bingo card by visiting all booths for a chance to win!

    We can’t wait to celebrate the season with you at Artists in Bloom 2026: A Makers Market! Secure your spot today, and let’s make this event one to remember.
