Crafter Applications Open Feb. 1!

Applications for the spring 2011 Crafty Supermarket will be open from Feb. 1 to March 15. We’re seeking crafters, artists and designers — if you make things by hand, we wanna see what you do. We’ll notify crafters of their acceptance status by March 25. For all the rules and details, check out our 2011 Spring Crafters page. We’ll update it with the link to the application when it goes live on Feb. 1!

 

thank you!

Our holiday show yesterday was a huge success—thanks to all our amazing crafters and the 2,100 shoppers who came out to see us! Our trusty volunteers were integral to making the show work—we hope you liked the swag bags! The Clifton Cultural Arts Center was bustling with activity all day, and the fun just would not quit, thanks to PROJECTMILL DJ Ben Davis.

We also have to give a shoutout to our awesome food vendors: Cafe de Wheels, Dojo Gelato, La Terza Artisan Coffee Roasterie, Sweet Peace Bakery and Picnic and Pantry. Thank you for keeping us well fed and caffeinated!

And a big thanks to our sponsors: ArtsWave, Yelp Cincinnati, BurdaStyle, North Light Craft Books, Park + Vine, fabricate, NVISION, Thunder-Sky, Inc., and the Comet.

We love all y’all!

cincinnati unchained + indie craft stores

In case you needed another reason to get a good head start on your holiday shopping this Saturday, we’ve got another one. When you come to Crafty Supermarket this Saturday (omg!), you’ll get a program with listings of all our crafters, a cut-out-and-keep craft project by Paper Acorn and a Cincinnati Unchained passport.

What do you do with the shopping passport?

  1. Get it stamped at Crafty Supermarket on Saturday!
  2. Go to seven locally owned stores (more than 50 are participating!) to fill the rest of your passport.
  3. Write your name and info on it.
  4. Drop it off at any participating store.
  5. You’ll be entered in a drawing to win one of a passel of fabulous gift baskets!

It’s like a big shopping scavenger hunt! Cincinnati Unchained is a Buy Cincy initiative to get people shopping locally. They’re coordinating the whole shebang and encouraging local shopping by coordinating special deals for Nov. 20.

And speaking of stores — two indie craft stores will be represented at Crafty Supermarket! Both of ’em will have wares from indie crafters from around the country to give you even more options for gifts!
