"Hello" and welcome to the Art Fire of Michigan Guild Blog. I'm Felicia from FishPrincessDesigns and every Friday I'm going to be sharing some great artisan markets and venues for crafters across the State of Michigan. From boutiques to farmers markets and everything in between, I hope to share with you some of the varied and unique venues that you might want to check out to sell your items.
Michigan has a treasure trove of "undiscovered" places to find and market your handmade items. I hope you will share some of your favorite places with me. I'd love to be able to feature more shows and markets!
But it's a lot more than just a retail store. The owners of Leon and Lulu's have made a commitment to both the Artisan and charitable communities. In fact, of the 64 special events they hosted in their store last year, 51 of them helped local charities! The special connection for me to the store is that twice a year-in the spring and fall they host Special Artists' Market Days! The Next Artists' Market Days will take place on Sunday, March 4, 2012 and Tuesday, March 6, 2012. Leon & Lulu is delighted to celebrate local artists' work with our Artists' Market. There is no admission fee to attend or exhibit. For those Artisans who are fortunate to be selected to sell in this event, you can can expect to give Leon and Lulu's a gallery fee for the items you sell, similar to any professional gallery. While some artists from the previous Market will return, more than half the exhibitors will be new to the Market to ensure that the greatest possible number of artists can participate for the first time.
