We are looking for artists/creatives to sell any of their merchandise that they can fit on or under their own folding table: prints, toys, canvases, sculptures, t-shirts, etc. This is a curated artist market: we do not allow non-art-related, franchise or corporate-style businesses to set up tables. We will consider indy comic book companies, used record sellers, self-owned bakers, etc (and we take cookie bribes). A small registration fee gets you a table or a slot for your own table (depending on the event). You come the day of the event, set up your table, meet people, sell your art and socialize with your fellow creatives. We want to work together to make this an ongoing event. Any suggestions or comments are welcome.
