Applications for the Craftcation Pop-Up Shop are OPEN from 2/1–2/15, and this is your chance to get your products in front of a community of 500+ passionate creatives during Craftcation!

The Pop-Up Shop isn’t your typical marketplace—it’s a curated retail experience open to the public throughout the conference. Fully staffed by our trusted team, it lets you showcase your work without needing to be there in person. That means more time for you to enjoy Craftcation workshops, connect with fellow attendees, or relax by the beach while your creations shine!

Whether you’re a returning attendee or dreaming of seeing your products featured for the first time, we’d love to see what you’ve got. Don’t wait—apply now to secure your spot in this one-of-a-kind shop!

📆 Applications close February 15th

Think about a moment when you felt truly seen, sup

Think about a moment when you felt truly seen, supported, and connected. Maybe it was sharing secrets with a childhood friend, laughing until your stomach hurt with someone new, or getting a cheer from a loved one for your latest big idea. Those moments stick with us.

At Craftcation, we create space for those connections—where creativity, community, and support come together. It’s not just about building your business or learning new skills (though you’ll do that too). It’s about finding your people, feeling understood, and knowing you’re not alone.

Craftcation has sold out every year for 12 years—don’t miss your chance to join us! 🌊✨

Ventura isn’t just the host city for Craftcation

Ventura isn’t just the host city for Craftcation—it’s where our hearts are. Nearly two decades ago, I stepped off the train and felt an instant connection, like finding a missing puzzle piece. Ventura became more than just a destination—it became part of my story.

When you come to Craftcation, you’ll see why. This city has the perfect blend of laid-back California charm and a vibrant creative energy. It’s a place where local businesses thrive, creativity flourishes, and community truly means something.

I can’t wait for you to experience the magic of Ventura for yourself. To get you started, here’s a roundup of a few local spots we adore! 🏖️✨
