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.

The Yoknapatawpha Arts Council could win $20,000 from Tom's of Maine! VOTE FOR YAC ONLINE!

Dear Friends, Members, and Supporters of the Arts Council:

The Yoknapatawpha Arts Council has been selected as a finalist for a $20,000 award in the 50 States for Good program sponsored by Tom's of Maine . Tom's of Maine receives thousands of submissions for this program. They have selected just 41 groups to consider as finalists. It appears that the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council project of renovating the Powerhouse Community Arts Center appears to be the only organization in Mississippi that was selected.

The program has entered the public support phase and we need your help. The program will be announced nationally this week in USA Today, but voting is already active and votes are being counted starting today. We need your help. Each day you can vote for the program you would like to receive the $20,000 in support. Although all the programs that have been selected are worthy we hope you will help bring support to a program in our community.

Please take time to vote right now. Share this link with your network of people. Then save this link, vote again everyday, and remind your friends to vote everyday.

Thank you for your continued support of the arts.
