Atomic Holiday Bazaar

ATOMIC HOLIDAY BAZAAR

8 years of indie craft that won't make you puke.

Atomic Holiday Bazaar enters its 8th season on Saturday, December 14 & Sunday, December 15 at Sarasota's historic art deco gem, the Municipal Auditorium. This wonderful community building, built in 1938, has been the Atomic venue since the show's inception.

APPLICATIONS ARE BEING ACCEPTED FOR THE 2013 SHOW, the application is available to the left of this box in the navigation bar. Please don't procrastinate, Atomic is usually sold out by early July, really, it's true!

If you are new to Atomic, Atomic is a family friendly indie craft show, however, there is adult content in the Atomic shows, i.e., adult words, visuals, provocative items. I'd call it more G to PG rated but there was a gentleman who was inflamed by a piece of art that I found terribly amusing. If this kind of stuff bothers you, there are other shows I encourage you to apply to because I'm not changing my taste index to accommodate what I consider funny and harmless amusements. Atomic is NOT for everyone. That's what parental guidance is for and I trust the parents who come to Atomic are raising well rounded little humans capable of making decisions that are based on the real shit that can be hurtful, not the funny irreverent stuff that makes my heart sing.

In the meantime, you are invited to "Like" Atomic on Facebook. That's where most of the Atomic action is, meaning, you can view what's new with Atomic makers, new handmade indie craft, projects that look like fun and cool stuff we can't live without. See ya in December!

APPLYING TO THE 2013 ATOMIC SHOWS

Atomic applications are ALIVE!

Atomic is looking for "makers" who create amusing, unique, beautiful, one of a kind (or hand-mass produced by Y O U and your team), items which range from jewelry, clothing, home decor, body products, art, canned goods, plushies, baby clothes, you name it - items made in the "indie" spirit. Atomic is also looking for vintage retailers selling vintage, upcycled furniture, kitsch, vinyl and interesting oddities.

Atomic is not interested in corporate franchise products (AVON), anything cute imported from China or other faraway lands, plastic flower arrangements, etc. If you are unsure about whether your items are a fit for Atomic, visit the "Picture Book" tab to view crafts that have been in past shows.
