festival 2009 – Accepted!

I just received word on Monday I have been accepted to have my sales booth again in the Art Sales Tent at Festival of the Arts 2009.

June 5th, 6th and 7th, 2009!

This year Festival celebrates its 40th anniversary in Grand Rapids – so you won’t want to miss this one.

Festival is the largest all-volunteer arts event in the nation! It’s a three-day arts celebration, always held the first full weekend in June in downtown Grand Rapids.

It encompasses almost all of downtown Grand Rapids with six performance stages; lots and lots of food booths offering ethnic delights of all kinds; singers, dancers, thespians, visual artists, and performers from all over West Michigan; more than 20,000 hard-working volunteers; and over half a million people in attendance.

Visit the Festival website for more information

Art Tents on Calder Plaza – June 5, 6 & 7, 2009

West Michigan’s finest artists and craftspeople sell their wares, including pottery, jewelry, folk art, photography, handmade paper, metal sculpture, wood sculpture, fiber art, glass sculpture, watercolors, acrylics, and oils.

I will be offering greeting cards, boxed gift card sets, matted prints in a variety of sizes and new framed pieces. Check back – I will make a few more posts related to this event as the date draws near.

VOLUNTEERS for my booth are ALWAYS welcome! It takes a good long week of preparations in order to make Festival happen. I’m putting out my annual call for booth volunteers or help packaging products. If you think you can lend a couple of hours, please contact me for details. “Team Niedzwiecki” always has lots of fun each year…

Be sure to stop by and say hello – and be sure you bring an extra shish-ka-bob with you…
