We are seeking artists for 2022! This is a maker market, so the items must be handmade by you, or your original brand and not re-distribution or MLM like various shakes, vitamins, jewelry, and make-up products that you sell as a consultant. If your items have a literary theme - like making wood pens, handbound journals, tiny book earrings and such, all the better!
Artists - painters, sculpters, mosaics, jewelry
Artisan-Made - bath products, accessories, clothing
In the wake of the 2020 pandemic, and coming away from what has been one of the worst chapters in our history as a nation, we wanted to lighten the mood a little and go with a happy theme. This year we celebrate love in its many forms: spiritual, romantic, self, parental, friendship and any other kind of love that is undefinable. We want to lift up the voices that tell the stories of love in all its pain and beauty, to celebrate reading and another great love—the love of books!
