We are still looking for more participants for our
New LAG Artist Venue at the Old Town Marketplace on Main St.!
|
Our first show at the Old Town Marketplace will be at the 2nd Friday Art Walk on Friday, January 13th!
The cost is only $10 per artist, with no commission on any sales for the month long show. For gift shop artists, 2nd Friday is the only show/sale day, and the entry fee is $5 with no commission taken. You need to provide your own tables and chairs (a couple of artists can share if you want).
ALL artists need to be present at the the 2nd Friday event and handle their own sales (there is WiFi for credit card sales), plus each artist needs to bring a finger-food item for the event.
The marketplace is open during the hours of 10am to 8pm (Mon - Sat) and we have LAG members who will help keep an eye on our art, plus someone to take our sales, answer questions, etc.
We are starting a list of artists now! This is an incredible opportunity for us, and very inexpensive. The fees may increase at a future date, so sign up now! Space is limited!
If you are a current LAG member and are interested in being one of our artists for January, please respond to:
Please indicate if you want to enter large pieces ($10 entry fee for 3-4 pieces), gift shop pieces ($5 entry fee, plus your own table/chairs) or both ($15 fee).
In case you haven't visited the marketplace recently, new vendors have moved into the building and this marketplace is turning into a great art gallery mall. They already have 6 artists in residence and are hoping to expand as space comes available.
