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 their supportive community of fellow makers. They help each other achieve business and creative goals through selling opportunities, community, member promotion, professional development, and more.

Applications open Wednesday, July 9, 2025.

Applications close Wednesday, July 23, 2025 (11:59pm ET).

They represent 260+ artisans and are 100% powered by members volunteering their time and talents. For July applicants, their $40 annual membership fee is prorated to $20 for a half year membership. They 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.

Requirements

Eligibility requirements:

1) sell items handmade by you
2) sell through an established ecommerce storefront
