13th Annual Glen Park Festival‏ – Sunday, May 1st

January 28th, 2011

The Glen Park Festival will be held this year on Sunday, May 1, 2011 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30p.m. For those new to the festival, it has evolved from a neighborhood get-together to a well-planned annual event that brings together craftspeople, artists, musicians and neighbors for a day of entertainment and fun.

Vendors are an important component of the festival and we value their contribution in making it an exciting, well attended event. Typically, vendor booths range from crafts and fine arts, to clothing (for all ages) & accessories, jewelry, and books & memorabilia. The festival also hosts an array of non-profit and service organizations, giving them a chance to conduct important outreach. From past experience, crowds have descended upon “the Village” to provide a constant flow of foot traffic through the main thoroughfares of Wilder and Diamond Streets.

Vendor booths measure 10′ x 10′, cost $250.00 (except premium corners) and must be canopied. The festival provides canopies, however, vendors choosing to bring their own may receive a $50.00 discount. If you are a 501(c)(3) please refer to our application for special discounted pricing. All price information can be found at www.glenparkfestival.com/become-a-vendor.shtml.

Also, for the first time, in 2011 we will be accepting applications for vendors wishing to share a single booth. This can be a good opportunity for small artists or craftspeople to show their work while splitting the cost of the booth with another complementary vendor. For more information, please go to www.glenparkfestival.com/become-a-vendor.shtml.

Applications will be accepted December 1, 2010 through March 1, 2011. Vendor applications are juried on a rolling basis to maintain a variety of crafts and organizations. Assignment of space is otherwise on a first-come, first-served basis, so apply early. To become a festival vendor please complete the online application at www.glenparkfestival.org.

We are excited to hear from you and hope that you can join us for what we plan to be our best festival yet! If you have questions, feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
Alyssa Helmke
Vendor Coordinator, Glen Park Festival

We encourage all DooF-a-Palooza participants to become Sourcerers and share in the journey of food from its source. Everyone gets to play in the fun!

Cole Valley Fair on September 25, 2011‏
January 28th, 2011

Attention Artists, Vendors, Musicians, and Owners of Unique Cars:

The Cole Valley Improvement Association (CVIA) is pleased to announce that the Cole Valley Fair will be back again for its ninth year on Sunday, September 25, 2011.

The Cole Valley Fair continues to be a charming and well-attended event sponsored by merchants and organizations with outstanding records of community support. The fair features local art and fine crafts, lip-smacking food, live music, a display of historical Cole Valley photographs, a full block of vintage automobiles owned by neighborhood residents, events for children, and more!

If you’re an artist with unique handcrafted work or a food vendor with tasty morsels, we hope you’ll apply for a booth space. The deadline is July 1. Priority will be given to Cole Valley residents, returning vendors, and promising new applicants. (Imported merchandise will not be considered). We will be accepting some applicants before the deadline date.

We’re also seeking musicians from all genres and styles for one-hour performance slots. Please note that limited amplification will be allowed – see the application form for details. The Cole Valley Fair is a small and intimate street fair where the right sound will attract a lot of attention.

And, yes, Cars on Cole will be back again this year. Never been to the event? We look for interesting neighborhood vehicles– whatever that may mean. It need not be a “show queen”, or vintage, or rare. The range of vehicles in past years has been from a gaggle of Citroen 2CV’s, British, German, French, Japanese and Italian sports and touring cars, heavy 30-60’s American Iron, Model A to modern Hot Rod.

The fees for resident’s booth spaces have decreased as we’re hoping to attract more local artists. The fees for non-food vendor booths have increased by $10 to help defray the increased cost for City permits and the food booth costs have been reduced to insure delicious fare.

Application forms for vendors and cars are attached (musicians’ application will be available later) and also available online at

www.cviasf.org and on paper at Postal Chase, 912 Cole Street.

Send your questions, comments, or request to be removed from this email list to colevalleyfair@gmail.com.

We look forward to seeing you at this year’s Fair!

Dear Vendor and Culture Creators!
January 10th, 2011

Happy New Year!

2011 marks a new direction for Noise Pop’s Pop – n – Shop!   We’ve retooled the event to be more than just a shopping event. The promoters of Noise Pop have taken the week-long Noise Pop experience, brought it all into one location over two very special days, and created Noise Pop Culture Club (NPCC). This event is dedicated to the celebration of creativity and independent culture in its many forms— including but not limited to—music, art & graphic design, film, food and fashion, the NPCC will feature interactive workshops, talks, a live show on Saturday evening and an art exhibition, local designers and food fair daily plus workshops that touch on the entire spectrum of independent culture.

As a potential vendor we wanted to let you know about this great opportunity and some of the changes we’ve made.

The Pop – n – Shop portion of NPCC will be a highly curated event with limited space (our current count is about 27 booths).

The event will be Sunday, February 27^th from 12:00 pm - 6:00 pm, located at the night club, Public Works.

The venue is located in the San Francisco’s Mission at 161 Erie Street.

The fees are $100 for Full Space (6 ft long X 5 ft deep) and $70 for Half Space (3 ft long X 5 ft deep).

We are also creating opportunities for vendors to celebrate creativity and creative people in an interactive and inspiring way. We have time slots to conduct workshops or be a speaker to talk about your experience of turning your passion into a business venture (we also will have a panel or two, so if you have a collective or group that would like to present let us know). We consider these excellent opportunities to further promote and attach your personal experiences to your work.

So we are asking for volunteers to conduct workshops and/or be a speaker. If you are interested in vending and/or volunteering to do a little more, please respond to this email by Friday January 14^thand answer the following.

I will send an application out to those responding by January 19th:

What are you interested in doing (vend only, conduct a workshop, be a speaker, all of the above)? If you wish to only sell your products, that’s fine. If applicable, please provide a short paragraph that describes what your workshop or talk will cover. This will be used to publicize your event.

If applicable, who is presenting this with you? Please list all names and let us know if there may be more to come.

How long do you ideally need for your presentation? For individual talks we recommend no longer than 20 minutes, for workshops an hour to 90 minutes. We can work together on this but give us a general idea of what you are thinking.

When would you like to present that day? We will be making the final schedule but if you have any preferences or cannot do certain hours (between 12 pm – 6pm). Let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.

Will your talk or workshop need A/V equipment, tables? Let us know how you envision the space and we can work out what we can do. Public Works has video capability in the main room.

If you are a food vendor, please let us know your equipment, water or electricity needs.

Attached is an overview of the entire Culture Club event! And here’s a link to the festival: http://2011.noisepop.com/

All the best,

Molly Bradshaw
