Street Market

Want to know more about the Holiday Arts Market coming to founders on November 21, 2009 to Founders Brewery? Holiday Avenue for the Arts Market PSA!

We are so happy to have you participating in the Holiday Avenue for the Arts Market at Founders! This is the first time we have had an indoor event like this and it is going to be quite the adventure!

We have had coverage in On the Town, Wyce, there are flyers up around the downtown and Alger Heights and we are getting a great response on facebook!

Here are a few notes about set up and the day of activities!

1. Please bring a table and chair(s)! We may have a few tables and chairs onsite although there will not be enough for everyone. Your table should not exceed 8feet long….if you do not have a table but have racks please make sure you think about them in relation to an 8foot long, 5 foot wide (ish) space.
2. The spaces will be assigned of but we like to be flexible so adjustments can be made the day of.
3. Founders is offering $1 off beers for vendors because they love you guys and are excited about supporting the event!
4. There will be 22 vendors set up and we have 3-4 volunteers helping to unload/load. When you arrive:
   1. Pull into the drive at founders as far forward as possible. A volunteer will come out and help you unload as quickly as possible into the building. You will (as always) then be asked to move your car and park on the street side!
   2. Please arrive at 11:00 am. The event begins at 12 and goes until 8pm.
   3. Founders has food onsite (amazing sandwiches, French bread pizza!) and does not allow inside food. If you will need to leave the premise for lunch and/or dinner please bring a friend to help watch your booth!

There is a complete listing of participating vendors on the Website as well as on our Facebook group PLEASE invite your friends, family and patrons to the event! This is a trial event, if it goes well we may do another event in February, if not this may be a one time deal! We are relying on your feedback and thoughts to guide us through the process!

If you are wondering if you are included in this years AAholiday market please look at the list of participating vendors posted on the hompage.!

Please let me know if you have any additional questions! I am looking forward to seeing all of you!
