JUNE IS SOLD OUT
INFORMATION FOR ARTISTS & REGISTRATION
Howdy! My name is Mitch, I'm an artist and have been involved in the arts all my life. I started this market because I could see a need in my art community and felt that Houstonians would support a monthly outdoor art venue. Houston has! The way I see it, my job is to make your day fun, educational and profitable. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
I know if you're like me your patience is short! So here's the skinny:
- The show is curated by the artists
- $80 per show
- Bring your own setup, including tent
- Booth space is limited
- Maker is the seller
- Your web page is free
- Open all year
- We have a buying crowd.
— Cheers! ~ Mitch
