That’s right, folks. LFO is back on the scene and pleased to announce the call for applications to our spring edition of Tarts n’ Crafts. It has been great to see new craft shows evolve in the Ottawa community these past couple years and we have missed being part of it! That said, this craft sale will be on a slightly smaller scale than our previous ones.
We are using this spring's sale to fundraise for our annual Rock Camp for Girls workshop.
Please read carefully as there are some changes from past applications.

Because of the overwhelming demand for tables, LFO will jury all Tarts n’ Crafts applicants based on the following considerations:
• Is it a good fit with the LFO mandate?
• Is the product well-made, with a DIY, edgy aesthetic?
• Do the crafters chosen strike a balance between local, regional and national representation?
• Do the crafters chosen represent a variety of products?
LFO is an inclusive, feminist organisation. We feel that providing a venue for women artists counters the obstacles and discrimination that women often face, including sexism, homophobia and racism.
Write us with any questions you have about the craft sale. And, of course, apply quickly! The deadline for all applications is April 1st/12. If accepted you will receive a confirmation e-mail by April 15th/12. No late applications will be considered-no exceptions!!!
