The Foundry is Cambridge’s inclusive hub for creative exploration where equity, belonging, and access come together to cultivate a vibrant community that empowers people to imagine boldly, create freely, and grow together.
We are looking for food and beverage vendors who are passionate about connecting with the community through the products they offer.
We will be accepting and scheduling vendors on a rolling basis. We can’t wait to work with you!
