The Creative Exchange- TCE

08/25/2026

🚨 VENDOR APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN! 🚨

The Creative Exchange is launching a new series of community vendor markets in Blackstone, and we’re officially looking for local businesses, makers, food vendors, farmers, artists, service providers, and entrepreneurs who want to be part of it!

We’re keeping each market intentionally small and curated so shoppers get a strong variety of products, services, and experiences.

⚠️ LIMITED VENDOR SPACE
For each market, we are currently accepting:

🏠 8 Indoor Vendors
🌿 2 Outdoor Vendors

Vendor selections will be made based on variety, fit, and available space.

📅 UPCOMING MARKET DATES

🍂 Fall Launch Market
Saturday, October 24 | 1–5 PM

🎁 Holiday Preview Market
Saturday, November 14 | 11 AM–4 PM

🎄 Christmas Parade Market
Friday, December 11* | 3–8 PM
*Date pending official confirmation of the Blackstone Christmas Parade.

🌷 Spring Market
Saturday, April 24, 2027 | 11 AM–4 PM

💰 BOOTH PRICING

Indoor Booth: $40
8’ × 6’

Outdoor Placement: $30

Outdoor placements are intended primarily for vendors whose products or setup are naturally better suited outside, such as fresh produce, plants, farm goods, and similar offerings.

Submitting an application does not guarantee placement. We’re curating each market to avoid too much duplication and make sure there’s something different for shoppers to discover.

The gallery is now live.

What began as a vision has become a place where ideas, relationships, and opportunities can grow.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the soft Grand Opening of The Creative Exchange. Your presence helped make the evening more than just an event—it marked the beginning of something we believe will have a lasting impact on our community.
From the conversations and connections to the laughter and celebration, we're grateful for every person who helped make the night unforgettable.
If you attended, we'd love for you to relive the evening, tag yourself, and share your favorite moments. If you couldn't make it, we invite you next Saturday for our public opening. Take a look inside and see what The Creative Exchange is all about.
