Just discovered the Rock and Shop Market alternative craft fair in Raleigh. It's scheduled for July 15th and should draw in artists from all over the country. There will be beer, live music and many booths of handmade items, ranging from hand silk-screened posters to sock monkeys.
The fair is based on the successful Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn and Chicago and is sponsored by BUST, Readymade, and other DIY groups. Perhaps we can form one in our area...or participate in the larger craft fairs as a booth representing Norfolk artists. I know of a handful of artists who will join me in this venture (next year).... Interested? Find out about it here.
