Oxford Maker's Market at Skipwith Cottage this Saturday!

Next Market: August 21, 2010
Location: Skipwith Cottage
Time: 10am-5pm

Market Notes:
• New location! This will be our first Maker's Market at Skipwith Cottage. We're excited to have access to the space, and especially on such a busy Oxford weekend (i.e. students will be returning for Fall Semester). Information about layout and tent use is forthcoming (FYI: tents won't be provided).
• We need a logo. We're currently developing promotional items for Maker's Market and would like to have a logo that we'll implement in these and other market materials. We'd love any ideas or submissions from our artists.

Additional Info:
• Fees: $20 per artist/table, or $30 for two artists sharing one table.
• Set-up: Set-up is at 9am. Space is first come, first serve. Artists can begin breaking down their booths at 4:30pm.
• Presentation: Artists are responsible for their own tables and table-cloths. Chairs are available to borrow. Artists need to bring any screens, easels, or other set up for vetically displaying art. The Lyric does not provide any wall space of any kind for hanging or displaying art.
• Age: If the seller is under the age of 18, he/she must be accompanied by an adult.
• Money: Sellers must bring their own cash to make change for sales.
• Taxes: Artists are responsible for submitting their own taxes on sales conducted at the Maker's Market.

The Oxford Maker's Market is an art market based in Oxford, Mississippi. It occurs every 1st and 3rd Saturdays on The Square (usually at the Lyric). The Maker's Market is committed to local and underexposed talent. We try to showcase different artists, musicians and a variety of media at each event.
