Wonder Fair is always happy to receive inquiries from printmakers, illustrators, graphic designers, and other emerging artists and product designers whose work meets our standard of graphic excellence or creative alignment.

We are primarily and frequently interested in stocking: 

  • Handmade art prints – letterpress, screenprint, linocut, intaglio, risograph, etc – packaged with sleeves and backing boards

  • Zines, comics, TTRPG one sheets, and art books

  • Stickers, enamel pins, patches, and magnets

  • Innovative designs or products in the stationery and art supply category: e.g. washi tape, notebooks, journals, inks, handmade paints, handmade paper, etc. 

We are NOT currently and are rarely seeking examples of the following: 

  • Original drawings or paintings

  • Digitally printed works

  • Photo prints

  • Clothing or accessories

  • Jewelry

  • Ceramics

  • Housewares

  • Inventions

  • Poetry/chapbooks, fiction, self-published children’s books

  • Fan art

  • AI-assisted artworks

If your work aligns with our frequent stocking interests above, please send an email of introduction to submissions@wonderfair.com with appropriate links to view your catalog of goods. If your work is on the Faire platform, please feel free to send us your affiliate direct link.

Alternatively, you can mail product samples or a catalog to our store for review. Please mail to Wonder Fair at 841 Massachusetts St in Lawrence, KS 66044. We are unable to guarantee the return of samples sent by mail. 

As we are able, we will respond by email if we feel your work is a good fit for Wonder Fair at the present time. Although we appreciate the time it takes for artists to put their work out into the universe, unfortunately we cannot respond to each inquiry, and our response time will be heavily dependent on our seasonal shop needs and our staff’s available free time. Please refrain from contacting the shop with follow up inquiries, as individual staff are unable to provide updates.

We are grateful to be able to work with many local artists on consignment as a way to represent and grow our professional arts community. If you are interested in consigning your work at Wonder Fair and it aligns with our interests above, please stop by the store and ask for a Consignment Info Sheet. We typically only work on consignment with local artists that reside within 100 miles of our shop. If you aren’t a local artist, please follow the submission guidelines above.  

In our present format (very bustling shop, all the time!), Wonder Fair no longer exhibits rotations of solo or group artworks in a dedicated gallery setting. Please do not send exhibition proposals at this time, as it will only make us long for the pre-Covid times, and we sadly do not have the capacity or resources to mount exhibitions at this time. 🥺 

If your work involves staplers, staples, or other paper fastening devices or endeavors, please email procurement@secureattachments.com.
