I’M HUNGRY WHERE CAN I EAT?

There are a variety of restaurants in the neighborhood to choose form!

I’M ALONE – HOW CAN I TAKE A BREAK?

When you sign in at the Info booth there will be a sign up sheet. Fill out your name and we will send someone to watch your booth while you use the restroom and/or grab a bite to eat. Breaks are 10 minutes.

WHAT ABOUT BAD WEATHER?

The Avenue for the Arts Market can be cancelled due to inclement weather. The decision to cancel will be made by market staff no later then 11am on the day of a market. The Market may be canceled, at staff discretion, due to: • Rainfall • Lightning • Severe weather advisories that include strong winds. • Entertainment may be canceled due to substantial standing water

Michigan weather can change dramatically hour to hour and in cases where there is potentially hazards weather the Market staff will monitor weather reports and the actual weather to make the best decision possible. Registered vendors will be notified by phone, updates will be made to the website and Facebook. In the case where the Market is canceled there is a reserved date (TBA). Staff will advance registration fees to this date. Refunds are not provided. Just remember! If you might not want to bring your artwork outside most likely Market attendees won’t want to come out either!
