Sign up now while there's still time!We are charging for spaces at the events, but we're doing it at the minimum possible cost to you, the vendor. The idea is to make this event more of a collaborative effort between those involved. We're taking suggestions for food sponsors, music, and any other ideas you may have to make the events the best they can be. We will be doing lots of promotion for these events, but we ask that you also do promotion (internet posting, contacting press and media, fliers, etc.). The more we put into this as a group the more successful it will be and hopefully it will be something we can keep doing into the future.If you're interested in vending or would like more info email us:[email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------BIG ART SHOWs are free for artists to be in but have a $5 cover for non-participants. Artists get about 5 to 6 feet of space to show as much work as they want, but it is first come first serve.Philadelphia Independent Craft Markets are $35 per space, but are free entry. Vendors get room for a 6 foot table space plus access to our gridwall.BIG ART SHOWs are more "party" oriented, meet people, show your art, network, selling is your option, but not mandatory, have fun!Philadelphia Independent Craft Markets are more "sell" oriented, come out and be a vendor or just come find some of the coolest stuff for sale in Philly!Sign up!BIG ART SHOW Asbury Park: [email protected] ART SHOW Baltimore #3: [email protected] ART SHOW Philadelphia #11: [email protected] Independent Craft Market (all dates): [email protected] include your name, a link to your website or jpegs of your work if you don't have a site.Please, Please, PLEASE spread this information anywhere you can!!!
