LFO Tarts N' Crafts Vendor Callout 2012!

 
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.
 

Tarts n’ Crafts
Sunday, May 27, 2012
Montgomery Legion Hall, 330 Kent St. (Centretown Ottawa)
10:00 am to 5:00 pm
 
Please note: We are very limited on tables available for rent. If you are able to bring your own table/display measuring the same dimensions or smaller, it may help your chances of getting accepted. If you are planning on sharing a table, both vendors must submit applications (No backdoor crafters please). Also, please let us know who you are planning to share with!

To meet your tabling requests, we’re offering the following options:
A. Rental of 5X2 ft table - $35 (there is a possibility that the available tables may be large round ones approx 5' in diameter)
B. Rental of 5X2 ft table plus additional room for your own rack - $40
C. Rental of 5X2 space (you bring your own table) - $30
 
Please send an e-mail application to ladyfest_ottawa_crafts@hotmail.com with the following information:
•Your name and contact info (e-mail, phone number, website)
•A brief description of you and your product
•Approximate price point of your product
•Photos of your work (no more than 5, please)
•Which table rental option you would like
 
*** Please provide all info in the body of your e-mail. Do not submit applications in Word, PDF or PowerPoint format. ***
 
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!!!
