Artisans and makers — join the NY Handmade Collective

Are you a handmade artisan? Do you sell your products online? Do you live in or near NYC? 

Then the NY Handmade Collective—NYC's nonprofit artisan and maker guild—invites you to apply to join our supportive community of fellow makers. We help each other achieve our business and creative goals through selling opportunities, member promotion, community, professional development, and more.

Applications open January 6, 2025. 

Don’t forget to submit your new member application by February 4, 2025! 

We represent 300+ artisans and are 100% powered by members volunteering their time and talents. There is an annual membership fee of $40.  We especially encourage makers from historically marginalized communities, or anyone who finds the membership fee a barrier to entry, to apply through our Access NYHC program. 

Eligibility requirements:

1) sell items handmade by you

2) sell through an established ecommerce storefront

3) live in or near (one and a half hours from midtown) NYC

4) have a google account (e.g., Gmail address)
