Hi Everyone,
Our summer at the market has been fantastic, we have been blessed with lots of warm weathered Sundays. We can certainly tell that Fall is approaching and we are gearing up for an abundant season. We have only 4 months left in our 2007 season, and that breaks down to only 14 more Sundays. WOW!!! Time flys when you are havin' fun! So, if you are currently selling with us, be sure to plan your time wisely. Also, for those crafters and artisans out there that are interested in getting started with us, Now is the perfect time. You can get an application from our website or contact the market manager at artisanmanager@yahoo.com for information.

Arts in the Area
An Arts Incubator Takes Off in Hamtramck...
With a propeller-topped head, a ham sandwich and smoking jacket for a torso and a pair of fishnet-clad legs shyly responding to cheers and applause, man, woman, child and lunch are whimsically welded together by a quartet of artists. The mixed media piece is part of the Exquisite Corpse collage exhibit hanging on the walls of Hamtramck's Café 1923. Created by the members of HATCH, these collaborative art pieces provide the perfect metaphor for what this Hamtramck arts incubator and collective hopes to achieve.

Artist Supply Swap!
On July 1st we are going to host the first ever Artist Supply Swap! This is going to be an opportunity to clean out your work spaces of all the extra bits that you have collected over the years, and are ready to get rid of. This event is open to any regional crafter, artist and curiosity seeker that is interested in finding new inspiration, or selling off old ones. There are applications available from www.artisanmarket.org to set up as a seller for this unique event. Then all you'll have to do is 'Bag-n-Tag' your items. Possible items that you may find would be: - skeins of yarn - jewelry bits - fabric - trims - Lots of collage items - soap supplies - display pieces - mat boards and frames - and whatever else other crafters have collected over the years. (only crafter and artist supplies will be permitted for sale. No flea market, garage, clearanced or buy-n-sell items will be allowed. If you have questions, contact artisanmanager@yahoo.com) You can't deny what a great event and opportunity this will be for buyers and sellers alike. The Artist Supply Swap! will take place in our market regardless of weather and the set up fee is only $20 for a 10'x6' space. Of course, our regular artisan market will also be taking place on this same day, along our main isle as usual. A separate application will be requested if you would like to set up for that location too. To set up there is only $15 a day... or if on July 1st you want to do both booths, a special rate will be extended to you and the combine fee would only be $30. Keep in mind though that the two booths would not be next to each other so you would need two people to attend to your two spaces. Looking forward to seeing you there....

Art Talk for Ann Arbor
Hi Everyone,
I hope that you are all doing well. Enjoying this Spring weather and nothing says "Spring Time" like a walk in through our artisan market. So... come on down. We have had record numbers of artisans join us over the past 3 Sundays. This Sunday's weather looks like it will be a beautiful one and since it is Mothers Day, we are looking forward to a crowd ready to celebrate with us. Our market will also be hosting a jazz trio, Garden of Souls, from 11-1pm providing some beautiful sounds for everyone to enjoy. This group wants to help bring the art of music back. Garden of Souls started as a concept to bring the idea of passion back into music without compromising the musical vision of the band. The vision was simple . . . to write good songs. Deep, meaningful, thoughtful lyrics and melodies over lush musical landscapes. The members of Garden of Souls have diverse musical backgrounds and tastes and they all find their way into the music. So, come and check out this group, enjoy the music and pick up some fantastic art. Hope to see you there.

Sunshine, Crowds, and Vendors.... Oh My!
Sunshine, Crowds, and Vendors.... Oh My!! It was a great opening day for each of us. I have to say "Thank You!!" to everyone that was a part of it. We had over 50 vendor spaces filled. Most spaces were filled by our Wonderfully Talented annual vendors that always delight everyone with their innovative and unique items. In addition, I was also blown away by some of the new vendors that joined us. The designs brought by "Yard Art" and "Imagine it in Glass" were both unique to our market and wonderful additions. It was great to have "Heaven Scent" as well as a new photographer, wood cutter, and I can't forget the beautiful items brought by "Michelle Benton". Later in the afternoon FestiFools came through our market too. Their group added to the fun and celebrational feel that our market had all day, and they injected a large amount of humor. The over sized puppets that everyone had created, their costumes, and all the "bucket" players were Great!! I'm looking forward to see what they come up with next year too!! If you are interested in being a vendor at our market you can get information from our web site, http://www.artisanmarket.org/. In addition, if you are looking for a place to experience art on a Sunday afternoon..... Come On Down...... "See ya at The Market!"
