Helllooooo Everyone!
It's been awhile, longer than we would have liked, but after working around a few issues, Craftstravaganzaa is back with not one but TWO exciting shows in the works!
First off, we are pleased to announce that we have been asked by Athens PopFest to curate an arts and crafts show for a special event they are having in conjunction with their music festival in October. We will join FLUKE! Comics Fest and the Secret Record Swap at the Classic Center on October 15th for a wonderful day of indie music and craft shopping. This will be our first indoor show, so it will be different from our outdoor shows, but it will have advantages for many of you, including a lower cost and easier set up (see details below). Also, it is going to put the Craftstravaganzaa name and our other events into the minds of a whole new group of folks through the POPFest and Classic Center promo materials, which will go out to over 12,000 people. There will be a limited number of tables, so we hope many of you will want to take advantage of this opportunity to do an unconventional show among a diverse group of like-minded folks.
To answer so many of the emails we have been getting, yes, we have a date for our Holiday Show! It will take place on the first weekend of December, Saturday December 3rd. As many of you know, we have had some issues with Prestige Parking in the past over the use of the lot, but after looking at some alternatives and many discussions with various people, we are very happy to say that we will remain in our original location with all of its many advantages. We plan to bring back our indoor Vintage Market as well as the clothing Swap-o-Rama-Rama with Gretchen Elsner, plus music, food and drinks from the Caledonia. We just love that corner space, and know that many of you do as well, so we look forward to seeing lots of faces old and new for our Holiday market.
In other news, we have enlisted the help of someone who we think is going to be a great addition to our team, and her name is Lauren Benbrook. She will be answering emails and assisting with many aspects of running this show, including being present at events and giving input on future developments with Indie Craftstravaganzaa. We look forward to having her around and we know all of our vendors will appreciate this addition as well. So, welcome aboard Lauren! Now for the details on these shows:
