Do you make crafts or fine art with what you find at Community Forklift?
We would like to celebrate the
artists who give new lives to old materials!
There are two ways to participate:
1) Donate a piece (or two or three!) to our December Gift Fair - just drop it off during store hours between now and Dec. 10. Amateurs encouraged. Proceeds will support our work through the lean winter months, you'll earn a tax deduction, and if you would like some publicity, we'll feature you in our website and newsletter (which reaches over 4,000 Forklift Fans).
2) Show and sell your art at the warehouse on one Saturday in December. If your work is chosen for the exhibit, we will give you a table and space for free. Preference is given to work that includes or celebrates reclaimed materials, and to folks with interactive displays (like Deciduous Dave, who makes walking sticks and juggling pins from salvaged wood - he's going to give juggling lessons!)
To submit your work for consideration, send your name, phone number, which Saturdays you are available, and descriptions/photos of your work
to [email protected]
