Dear Craft Vendor, 
 
You are invited to participate in the 42nd Annual Berkeley Earth Day sponsored by the City of Berkeley. Last year’s attendance was around 5,000 folks with lots of families and kids attending.
 
Berkeley has a reputation for our environmentally conscious citizenry. Berkeley Earth Day will be the perfect opportunity to take action locally on the environmental issues that affect our community, our pocketbooks, and our daily activities.
 
Berkeley Earth Day is slated for Saturday, April 21 from 12pm to 5pm in Civic Center Park, at Center and MLK in downtown Berkeley (near Berkeley BART).

 
Here’s a tentative schedule of the day:
• Over 150 booths representing businesses, craftspeople, community organizations, food vendors and government groups
• Demonstrations of alternative energy including electric cars, straw bale structures, hemp products, solar panels
• Berkeley Farmer’s Market with mostly organic farmers
• Climbing Wall
 
We have high expectations for this year’s Earth Day event and truly hope you can be a part of it. Please fill out the Craft application (in this word doc) and send it in by April 1. Booth space is limited. Set-up is from 9-11am and the fair is from 12pm to 5pm.
 
Best Regards,  
 
Karen Hester, Coordinator, Berkeley Earth Day

Looking for a local artist for a trunk show – San Francisco – Feb 4th

January 23rd, 2012

Looking for a local artist (jewelery, earthenware, glass) that would be interetsed in setting up a vendor table during a non-profit event Feb 4th in San Francisco. I chair an annual luncheon which brings in 100-150 women. The have cocktails for an hour and then lunch. Lively bunch – they like to shop and I usually can find someone with ease who wants to sell their goods. In looking back – all the vendors that have come through are corporate sales. It would be nice to find a local artist this year. All the attendees are from the Bay Area, so you may be able to grow your business. There are no other vendors at this event – so not really any competition.

You have to have an inventory of product, not just a couple of pieces to sell. Jewelery, cosmetics, small home good, purses/handbags or glass/earthenware would be a perfect fit. Last year $1000 of product was sold by a Home Party Jewelery company. The hook is you donate 20% of sales back to the non-profit. Shoot me an email if you fill the bill. It’s about four hours of work.
