GET INVOLVED!
There are many ways to participate in 3rd Fridays!
​
Artists, crafters, nonprofit organizations, and civic and community groups can set up tables for free -- see below to see if you qualify! Advance registration is required. At this time, we do not accept requests from corporate vendors; only handmade items and nonprofits, please.
Artists/Crafters
Artists and crafters can set up at no charge; however, advance registration and permission is required. Artists can showcase or sell, but if you do sell, we require that you collect sales tax, if applicable by law. For more information on Maryland sales tax licenses, click HERE.

Please keep art PG-rated. Original artists only; please no re-sellers, or flea-market-type items. 3rd Friday is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged items. You must provide your own table and chair.

NonProfits & Community Groups
Nonprofit and community groups are welcome to organize events at 3rd Friday or set up information tables with an activity to promote their cause. 3rd Fridays are a time and a place, and a forum for creative expression and civic involvement. We welcome groups with ideas to contact us. From dance performances to art projects... show us what you got!
