VAE is excited to host a brand new Mutual Aid Art Market in conjunction with out Fall Fundraiser! We are looking for artists and makers in the Triangle area to sign up to be vendors for the weekend. The fundraiser on Friday (November 18) night is a ticketed event, but the weekend market (November 18-20) is free to attend.
GUIDELINES
There are two different ways that you can be involved in the Mutual Aid Art Market:
IN PERSON VENDOR
Table the event and sell your art, crafts, and goods! You can either vend at all three dates, or you can pick and choose which days you’d like to have things for sale. While there is no submission/tabling fee, or limit on the amount of work you may sell, we kindly ask that you make a donation of at least 30% of your total sales for the weekend since this is a fundraiser. This is our normal commission rate for works sold through VAE. While we ask for a small donation, the vendors will have full control over their transactions and must have a way to process payment.
ONLINE VENDOR
If you are unable to attend in-person, or do not wish to, you may still submit an application for the sale of your artwork(s) or commodities, but will be limited to two items. If this is the option you choose, your works will be listed on VAE's sales platform, GiveSmart, and people will be able to make purchases online through this platform. Upon the end of the fundraiser, VAE will total your funds, take an automatic commission of 30%, and will issue you a check that will be sent by mail.
You will be notified about the status of your application no later than November 8th. If you are not tabling the event please email Ant to set up a time to drop off your work(s).
