Lov.li FAIR - JUNE 3rd

DIY Alert and Lov.li are co-sponsoring a craft fair this June, called The Lov.li Fair. And we're looking for both vendors and volunteers!
-----------------------------------------------

VENDORS:

Here's the details: The fair will be Sunday, June 3rd from 11-4. (And from 10-11, we're offering a special learning, networking, and excitement-building reception just for our vendors!)

The Lov.li Fair will be held at RonTom, which is at 600 E Burnside. We have space for 40 vendors at both inside and outside tables.

This will be a 21 and over event, with food and cocktails available from RonTom's menu. We'll also have a live DJ and make-and-take tables.

Booths are free, and we take no commission from sales at all. Booth spaces measure about 5' x 3'. We do have some specially-sized booths for people selling large-scale art or clothing, so please do contact us if you have any specific needs. In most cases, you will need to bring your own table and lighting (there are plenty of plug-ins). We have a limited number of round tables, so if you're interested in reserving one of these, please let us know. They are first-come, first-served.

To be a vendor at this show, you just need to be a member of Lov.li, selling work on that site. It's free and easy to create an account. Go to http://www.lov.li/. This show is juried, so please have some pieces of your work listed on Lov.li that represent what you'd like to sell at the show.

Here's a link to more details about the show. http://lov.li/events/118.

If you're interested in being a vendor, head over to http://www.lov.li/ and message Patrick. (His username is expatrick.)
----------------------------------------------

VOLUNTEERS:

We need two people to run make-and-take tables for us. In return for your time, we'll place a free ad for your business/website in our event program. And you are also welcome to distribute flyers for your business at the table.

If you're interested in volunteering, please email me at sisterdg@churchofcraft.org.

CALLING CRAFTERS!!!

Hi, crafters -For those of you who haven't heard, the Citywide Arts Commission is gearing up to host a weekly Sunday Arts Fair in downtown PDX.

From July through October, the parking structure at SW Third and Alder will be converted to a giant (400 spaces!) arts fair, where anyone may sell original work. (Which, by the way, is being defined broadly, to include art, crafts, original music CDs, and self-published writing.)

There's a $20.00 membership fee, a weekly $15.00 tabling fee, and they take NO commissions on your sales.

Nonprofit arts groups may be entitled to free tables to use for outreach.

Citywide Arts is taking applications for vendors now.
