Jewellery Category CLOSED

Effective May 20th, the jewellery category is closed. We had to place a cap on the jewellery group due to its popularity.

If you know of anyone outside of this grouping, we encourage you to suggest our show.
All our information can be found on our show website.

We are also still looking for artisans for our Gourmet Gallery. If you know of someone who creates tasty treats, jams, or the like, let us know.

We are filling up quickly. Interest is high for our second annual show. Send in your application before our May 31st deadline.

Until next time,
The Artisan Show Committee

Rolling Along...

Hi Everyone--

Things are going well.

We have confirmed 50% capacity for our show in September. If you are interested in being an artisan at our show this year, be sure to get your application and submission fee in before May 31st. That's when we have a slight price increase.

We are thrilled to have the following sponsors who have stepped up during these early stages:

Body and Soul Personal Training and Nutrition (Joanna Cielen)
Mantis Media Inc. (Laurielle Allan)
Chapters (Fairview Mall, St. Catharines)
Phil Gourlay (Event Planning)

We are very excited to have our Grizzly Gourmet Gallery filling up quickly. These are gourmet artisans who will be bringing their delightful items to the show.

This year, all profit raised by the Artisan Show will be devoted to replenishing the school's library and purchasing a literacy program called Literacy Place, specifically for grades 1-3. Recently, 4600 books were circulated out of the school's collection due to out-of-date information and damage. Your attendance at the show will help make a critical difference.


To participate, contact us at glenridgeartisans@gmail.com. Our website is www.glenridgartisanshow.webs.com. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Until next time,
The Artisan Show Committee

Clarification

Hi Everyone--

We have a clarification:

Please make cheques payable to Glen Ridge School Council.

This has been changed on our revised application form now available on our site.

Our apologies for the correction.
The Committee

Rolling in...

Our first application submission is en route. How exciting!

We've begun contacting past participants and new ones for this year's show. We anticipate a SOLD OUT show by the beginning of June.

If you are one of the many artisans we are contacting in the next few weeks, we hope you decide to join us. If you are just doing some preliminary research to see if this show is for you, contact us if you have any questions (glenridgeartisans@gmail.com).

For more information, visit our website. You can download our Application & Contract there.

If you can't join us for September 18, consider sponsoring our show. It is a great way to get your business name out there. We will promote it on our blog, website, and all day at our show. Our sponsorship levels are $50, $100, and $250. Further information about the benefits of sponsoring our show can be found on our For Sponsors page on our site.

Until next time,
The Committee

Things are Under Way

Greetings, Everyone!

We are very excited to have interest already from returning and new artisans. Be sure to download your Exhibitor Application & Contract at our website. We have grown the size of our show, but still have a limited number of spots available. Even though the show isn't until September, spots will surely fill up by our first deadline (May 31st). Don't miss out.

This year, we will be having a Gourmet Gallery. If you have tasty treats that are nut-free, we'd love for you to join our show. Please use the Artisan Application & Contract. Or, contact us glenridgeartisans@gmail.com.

Until next time,
The Artisan Committee

And...We're Off!

The Exhibitor Application and Contract is now available for download from our website: www.glenridgeartisanshow.webs.com. We are looking forward to a bigger show that will bring in more attendees and more media coverage.

What was said about the 2009 show:

"When people came to the show, they came with money, and they bought. That's the type of show Artisans want." Artisan

"This was our best show!" Artisan

"This show was very well organized from the very beginning until the very end." Artisan

"This show was very well promoted. I was just driving down the street, saw the signs, and turned in. Great use of signage." Attendee

"We were busy the whole day. Even during the last hour of the show. Typically, that's when things get slow. Not here!" Artisan

"We are very happy to see this event in our neighbourhood. It's about time." Glenridge Neighbour

"I just wanted to say congratulations on your first show. I hope you do it again next year and I would definitely like to take part. You did a great job. Thanks for a super day."
