Tired of hauling your wares from Farmers' Market, to Art Market, to pop-up?
Want to sell in a brick-and-mortar but aren't ready for the financial responsibility of owning your own shop?
Set up your products in our space, and we'll sell them for you!

Vendors get to participate in all downtown Aurora events at Zen Loft, and network with other artistic, like-minded people in a chill environment with an awesome vibe.

Vendors can get up to 80% commission of their sales!
Register here, and we'll contact you to go over the details.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please reach out to Emily "Sunshine" Beaupre or text (630) 465-5638 for current store hours.

All businesses are a work in progress, and we are here to help you become the most successful business owner you can be!  If a "required" category lists something you haven't done yet, just say so on the line (no pressure!)  We have business study sessions where we can all help you progress.

We're excited to welcome you!

Zen Loft has a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY for consent violations.  This includes, but is not limited to, hate speech, body shaming, racism, ageism, ableism, sexism,  misogyny, or anything else that we might deem inappropriate or distasteful.  As a collective, our behavior in and outside of Zen Loft reflects upon that of the whole. If you have had conflicts around consent in other communities, you must disclose this information and do your part to make amends. You understand that if you do not abide by the universal rules of inclusivity and consent both in and outside the space, you will be approached and will lose your membership privileges and the opportunity to attend future events at Zen Loft. *
