Become a One Of A Kind Ambassador

We’re excited to introduce the OOAK Ambassador Program — a new initiative designed to recognize and empower the incredible exhibitors who help make our community so vibrant.

This program is for experienced makers who know the show inside and out and are eager to share their knowledge, passion, and insight with others in the artisan world. Whether you're connecting with fellow exhibitors, meeting prospective applicants, or simply spreading the word about what makes OOAK so special, ambassadors help grow and strengthen our creative network.

Why Become an Ambassador?

As someone who has been part of both our Spring and Winter shows, you’ve developed a strong connection to the OOAK community — and your experience is incredibly valuable.

By becoming an ambassador, you’ll help guide and inspire other artisans, offer advice to those considering the show, and support the next generation of makers.

It's also a chance to be recognized for the role you already play — as a trusted voice, a connector, and a leader in your craft.

What Ambassadors Do

  • Wear a special ambassador pin at other craft shows and events

  • Answer questions from prospective artisans about what it's like to exhibit at OOAK

  • Identify and encourage qualified artisans to apply to the show

  • Reach out to the OOAK team when you discover exceptional talent

  • Offer feedback on trends and sentiment within the maker community

  • Support the OOAK team by acting as a bridge to promising new applicants

What Ambassadors Don’t Do

  • Handling customer service inquiries

  • Resolving exhibitor issues or complaints

  • Making final decisions on show applications or participation

The Perks

Being an ambassador comes with more than just bragging rights.

You’ll earn $200 for each successful referral who is accepted and participates in the show. You’ll gain increased visibility within the artisan community and build a stronger connection with the OOAK team.

Ambassadors also help shape the future of the show by bringing in new talent and receive a special pin to recognize their role at events.


How It Works

To be eligible, you must be registered for both the Spring and Winter One Of A Kind Shows. To apply, simply fill out the form below.

Selected ambassadors will be contacted to attend a short orientation session and will receive their official ambassador pin. After that, you’re welcome to represent OOAK wherever you go — at your own pace and in a way that feels natural to you.
