Welcome to Rising Stars!
We’re excited to welcome you to this vibrant section, where crowds come to discover new artisans and fresh, creative displays!
Rising Stars is the perfect place to start building your audience and brand recognition, setting the stage for a long and successful One Of A Kind career. Here’s what you need to know to make the most of your Rising Stars experience.
Booth Design
This is an open-concept space, and there are no standard booth sizes, so we’re always excited to see what exciting booth displays our Rising Stars will bring to the show. To get you started on your booth-building adventure, here are the basics of the Rising Stars section:
- Walls: No pipe and drape walls are provided in this section, so you must provide your own freestanding display structure.
- Floor Covering: Carpeting is provided in this section, but you can bring your own flooring too.
- Electrical: Order an electrical plug to power your lights and power (or charge) your POS system.
- Lighting: We dim the overhead lights to create a great shopping atmosphere, it is recommended you have your own lighting to make your products really shine.
- Seating: This is a cozy space, so we ask that you only bring yourself, your booth and a small stool--like this one from Ikea for only $6.99. And fear not, your stool does NOT need to fit within your contracted space.
Now that you know the basics, it’s time to get designing! Need some ideas? Check out our Rising Stars Pinterest Page and scan through our general booth design tips for any helpful ideas that you might be able to use. Then, it’s time to put your creativity to work!
Move-In
Move-in for Rising Stars exhibitors takes place on the second day of move-in. For the 2025 One Of A Kind Winter Show, Rising Stars may move-in on Wednesday, November 26, 2025.
More details will be provided early this fall.
Where Do You Go From Here?
As a One Of A Kind exhibitor, you’ll have the chance to save a spot in next year’s show (called Re-Sign). Walk the show for inspiration and note display ideas you might use when moving up to a full booth – or even a Booth Share, where you and another exhibitor split a 10x10 space (limited to two shares per season).
Think about which parts of your Rising Stars booth could grow into a larger space so customers recognize you year after year.
Did you know? New artisans can join Rising Stars at one Spring and one Winter show – so consider signing up again to make the most of your booth-building experience!
