Chocolate & Chalk Art Festival – Saturday, June 2, 2012, 10am-5pm – Berkeley

February 17th, 2012

The sidewalks along North Shattuck Ave. in the Gourmet Ghetto in Berkeley are the target of artists young and old, professional and greenhorn during the 16th annual CHOCOLATE & CHALK ART FESTIVALon Saturday, June 2.

With no fees to artists, areas of sidewalk will be assigned to participants to create their own fanciful chalk drawings. A CHALK ART CONTEST for the best drawing will be judged after 4 p.m. Winners will be notified the following day. Same-day registration takes place 10AM-5PM in event booths located along North Shattuck Ave. Artist’s chalk is available for a fee.

For CHOCOLATE SAMPLING start by purchasing a packet of tickets (10 for $10) at any of the registration sites. The to-go menu features organic raw dark chocolate mousse, chocolate ganache cupcakes, Nutella crepes, adult brownies or savory chocolate ricotta pizza, Caribbean chocolate soup, or the weirder chocolate foot massage! Spend your tickets on these delights in the businesses in the district.

Vendors with chocolate-related items and hand made arts & crafts fill the Farmer’s Market area, music fills the air, clown’s laughter fills your heart, and many more surprises fill your senses as you stroll along the sidewalks viewing the artwork that remains in place for the next two weeks. See last year’s chalk art contest winners. This is a family-friendly, non-alcoholic event.

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.
