For Vendors

Friends of the Japanese American National Museum will be celebrating the 17th Anniversary of the Kokoro Craft Show. We extend an invitation to apply to the in-person Kokoro Craft Show to be held on SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2025, 10:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. The 2025 Craft Show will take place at a new location:

the Kaikan Hall/Gymnasium indoor space at the
Nishi Hongwanji Buddhist Temple
815 First Street, L.A. 90012

and on Saturday rather than Sunday.

We will have very limited space in the Kaikan and will not be able to accommodate the large number of vendors we have had in the museum space.  The Kokoro jury will have the very difficult task of selecting the vendors for Kokoro2025. They will take into consideration the variety of craft items, history of vendor sales, and shoppers’ interest.

If you would like to join us for this craft event, please complete and return the Application. Please review the show’s Guidelines and Procedures prior to completing these forms.

APPLICATION FORM: Vendors, please include (3-4) high resolution photos of your goods and a Web address (if available) where your work can be reviewed. This is a juried show.
