2nd Saturday Artist Market: June 13!!

What to do this Saturday...what to do....hmmmm....HERE'S an idea:

Start your Saturday morning at Short Street Cakes - grab a mini cup cake, or a half dozen full sizers, or even a cake or two! Note the location so you can go back next weekend for the Howard Street Handmade market. And pick up a couple of extras...bring a mini vegan to the Crazy Green Studios booth and trade it in for a free gift.

Follow Haywood around the corner and come up the street, passing Steebo Designs - go check out his garden and if the studio is open, pop in and see what's in the works!

A bit further up the street you'll find Izzy's Coffee Den - yes, it's time for a coffee break, and if you're feeling a bit peckish, perhaps a snack!

At the end of the block, take a right in front of the Rocket Club (by the way, the Funk Messengers and Melodius Culture are playing later in the evening), and walk a short block to Christopher's Garden - see the '2nd Saturday Artists Markets' sign? Go into the garden, and you'll find some very arty and crafty vendors, including the runny bunny, and next to the garden you'll find Christopher himself, with his fine work!

Leave the garden on the Westwood Avenue side, and cross the street and follow Domino Lane a short way into the 2nd Saturday Artist Market - you'll see more signs and the tents, can't miss it!

Here you'll find ceramics, jewelry, clothing, paintings, soy candles, soaps, felted treasures and more!! Spend some time, get to know the people who make these fine works, shop ahead for Father's Day, pick up a little bauble for yourself! Say hi to the folks from Mountin' Hopes in the Community Booth. Bring some canned food for MANNA FoodBank, and help decorate a bowl for Empty Bowls! And don't forget to drop off that vegan cupcake at the Crazy Green booth!

Wait, you're not done! Take the stairs up to Haywood, and check out Harvest Records, Custom Boutique and Touch of Glass, then wander across the street and see what's going on at Blue BarnHouse, Krug Creative and BookWorks.

By now, if you're getting hungry again, The Admiral should just be opening for dinner or a frosty beverage, or perhaps you'd like to get a head start on the suggested Sunday agenda and head back down Haywood, over the bridge and into the River Arts District for the Studio Stroll!

Check out the 2nd Saturday blog this week to learn more about participating artists and the Community Booth, and then come out on Saturday and join the fun!

2nd Saturday Artist Market is expanding!!

The next 2nd Saturday Artist Market is June 13, which if you've been paying attention you'll know is the same weekend as Studio Stroll in the neighboring River Arts District. In anticipation of great crowds all over the area, we're expanding the 2nd Saturday Artist Market in several ways:

* 10x10 tented booth fees are now just $30: 2 artists may share a space, but at least one of you needs to have the tent

* un-tented 'table' space is now available: as long as the sun is shining, we'll try to make room for everyone we can, so if you've been interested in applying to the Market but daunted by lack of tent, fear not! For the June Market, you need only have a table, and like the booth spaces, two artists may share a 6' table. Table space is $20. If it goes well in June, we may keep doing it throughout the season.

We'll be keeping the application process open until we just can't fit in any more vendors, and once you've been juried in, you may simply submit your request to participate in future Markets.

Go to the event blog for Market applications - the table space feature is brand new, so if you don't see it on the application form, just write it in. And if you have any questions, email 'info' at 'crazygreenstudios.com'.

And if you're not vending in one of these great Markets - get out and visit them all! You'll be surprised and thrilled to discover the range of products and resources available right here in Asheville, produced by your very own neighbors!

2nd Saturday Artist Market - June 13 Market has space!

Artists, Craftspeople, Musicians - booth spaces are still available for the June 13 Market. Our June Market coincides with Studio Stroll, which is just across the river, so we're pitching our tents, planting our flags and inviting everyone to extend the party into East West Asheville!

10x10 Booth space is $30, and two vendors can share a booth. One of you needs to have a tent, however, so we can all be safe from sun or rain. Click on the image above or on the sidebar and go to the blog site for applications and other event information.

Mountin' Hopes will be our guests in the Community Booth in June, but there are other months available. If you have or know of a community organization who would benefit from being at the Market, this booth is donated for their use and they only need contact Lori 'at' crazygreenstudios.com to get on the schedule.
