Booking designers for Chillin' Productions 12th Anniversary May 1 at Mezzanine

March 12th, 2010

The reason I am writing is because I am booking designers for our Chillin’ 12th Anniversary show at Mezzanine Saturday May 1, 2010. This show will feature: 80 fashion designers, 180 painters and photographers, 2 live painters, video installations and a bunch of great DJ’s.Show is from 8:00pm-2:00am

Our Mezzanine shows are really special and we only 2 a year. We normally have an attendance of about 2000 people. Our shows have been free for designers to vend for 12 years and my goal is not only for designers to make money but also get exposure in the press and make connections with boutiques and buyers in the Bay Area. My goal is to support the local art and fashion community here and keep SF a unique place.

I do not charge designers to vend but I do have some expectations and if those do not work for you we are not the show for you. I work really hard for the designers and I do the best I can but your help make a huge difference!

In order for you to do the show this is what I truly expect from you:

1. If you are doing another show that same day you can NOT do my show.
2. I expect ALL designers to get flyers from me
3. expect designers to post the event in their websites.
4. send an email blast about the show
5. post to facebook, myspace, yelp, going, etc.,
 
If you are Not willing to do this this is not the show for you.

Anyway, I am so excited about this show! If you are interested in the show email me fast as at times I get booked in less than an hour.

This is a very special show because it marks our 12th anniversary + I am opening a store/art gallery. I dream of many years. If you are interested in being part of our boutique also contact me and we can discuss opportunities.

If you have any questions feel free to call me.
