MSU 62nd Annual Spring Arts & Crafts Show 2026

The Spring Arts & Crafts Show takes place on the grounds of the historic MSU Union, located at the corner of Grand River Avenue and Abbott Road in East Lansing, Michigan. The show hosts 250 crafters and artisans, featuring many new and returning vendors with a focus on diversity in both vendors and medium categories. Featured items include candles, furniture, jewelry, home and yard décor, aromatherapy, clothing, children's toys, paintings, graphic art, pottery, sculpture, photography, and much more.

Applications are accepted from both artist and non-artist vendors. The application fee is $30.00. Applicants must submit 7 images, including a required booth shot. The application deadline is May 8, 2026, with a booth purchase deadline of April 25, 2026. The event runs May 16-17, 2026. Returning vendors in good standing must apply by the priority deadline of February 25 to ensure acceptance and return to the same booth.

Vendors selling mass-produced, wholesale, resale items, or third-party created or manufactured items are ineligible. Food trucks or vendors selling ready-to-eat meals should contact Sara Stratilatov ([email protected]) for eligibility requirements. Applications are non-refundable. Booth fees are refunded if a request is made before March 25, 2026, but are not refunded due to weather. 100% of application fees support the MSU University Activities Board and its programming for the MSU student body.
