ShopColumbia Artists!
Though the holidays may seem far away, we actually have two very important seasonal updates for you!
THE MARKET
ShopColumbia invites you to participate in The Market, our 4th annual holiday market featuring three days of amazing opportunities for you to sell your work to holiday shoppers and network with other artists. Every artist participating in The Market will be provided with a three-foot table/booth, which you can brand accordingly to feature your work. By staffing your table and speaking with shoppers directly, you can tell them the story of your work and increase your holiday sales!
Market Dates:
Your success and sales at The Market are greatly affected by your physical presence, which is why participating artists will
be required to staff their table Thursday night and all day Friday or Saturday.
Your table branding is also key. Make your table stand out from the crowd by giving it a distinct look that displays your work in a clear and creative way.
DEADLINES
RSVP: Thursday, November 1st
