2nd Saturday Artist Market Updates!

Spring is here, and the 2nd Saturday Artist Market is getting ready to bring talented artists, craftspeople and musicians together once a month in rockin' East West Asheville!

We've tweaked a few things - you can get all the details at the 2nd Saturday Artist Market blog (click on the logo in the column to the right), but in a nutshell:

* the first Market will be Saturday, May 9. This is Mother's Day weekend and we anticipate beautiful weather and lots of people out enjoying the neighborhood and exploring Asheville!

* Artists may now apply for single months! We've had great response and some good feedback to the Market, and many artists let us know that it was a bit daunting to commit to three months at a time. We want to build a vibrant Market, and we want to offer the best opportunity for artists to show their work and build their businesses, so we're adjusting the policy to allow artists to apply for any individual or multiple months. If you've already applied and would like to adjust your application dates, just contact Lori via the email you have, there's no need to re-apply!

* East West Asheville and Crazy Green Studios are pleased to co-sponsor a special event for Empty Bowls on Saturday, April 11. This event will offer functional pottery made by members of Crazy Green Studios and area artists. Patrons will also be able to go 'hands-on' by decorating a bisque fired bowl. These bowls will be glazed, fired, and offered for sale at the annual Empty Bowls luncheon on World Food Day in October. All sale proceed for items sold 'under the tent' on April 11 will benefit Manna Food Bank. Stay tuned for more info on this event!
