Shop Local With the Campus Collective

Something fresh is coming to campus. The longtime Patio Vendor Program is officially getting a rebrand, and with it, a renewed vision for how local creativity connects with the UC Riverside community.

Introducing The Campus Collective — a thoughtfully curated weekday marketplace that gives one local vendor per day a dedicated space to showcase their work and engage directly with students, faculty and staff. It's like a rotating storefront right on campus, designed to spotlight the talent and craft in our local community.

The program is actively seeking artists, illustrators, makers and small creative brands who want to get their work in front of a built-in, engaged audience. Handmade goods and original creations are especially welcome.

Interested vendors can learn more and apply at cbs.ucr.edu/campus-collective.

Please note: Food vendors and clothing brands are not eligible for this program.
