The International African American Museum (IAAM) located in historic Charleston, South Carolina, has announced the launch of its inaugural Vendor Showcase Program. The project aims to highlight and uplift the creative talents of local area vendors, highlighting the interconnecting threads of our historical and cultural heritage within the IAAM community.
The program is designed to identify and highlight ten local artisans, showcasing their products in the museum’s gift shop, offering them a unique platform to share their entrepreneurial and artistic endeavors. The program not only facilitates collaboration and networking but also offers essential training and resources to vendors throughout the process. Application deadline for the program is May 1, while the announcement of the selected vendors will be made on June 5, 2024.
The Vendor Showcase Program is open to vendors across six distinct categories, with each category representing different facets of artistic expression and cultural heritage.
The International African American Museum seeks to tell a broader story about the African American journey in Charleston and beyond. Drawing from the diverse journey of the African Diaspora, the museum features eleven galleries, a memorial garden, and a collection of artifacts, presenting an empathetic storytelling experience. Through this new vendor program initiative, IAAM hopes to bridge the album of history with contemporary creativity and craftsmanship.
Aspiring vendors who can align their products with IAAM’s specified selection criteria are encouraged to submit their applications before the May 1 deadline. More details about the program and submission procedures can be found on the Vendor Showcase Application Portal on the museum’s official website.
