Waterloo has made me an incredible offer, and im giddy with glee. but it means nothing if i dont have your support, and participation.
the deal: Run an art market outdoors every Saturday from May thru September called ART LOOP
it will not only be an imadeit event but a Waterloo way of life. it will be marketed larger than we ever have; street banners, tourism guide… etc. along with the artisans we will include vintage/antique vendors. as usual we will include musicans, either every weekend or once a month. but i dont think we will have trouble finding music.
the place: the space beside the Clay and Glass Gallery is screaming for funky unique vendors amongst the trees + flowers. if you are not familiar with the area… right across the street (towards red trees on left) is the Waterloo Library; to the right (behind the clock tower) is the new Waterloo Town Square; behind me is the old train that runs from Waterloo to St. Jacobs; on the far right (out of the shot) is the Seagrams Museum.
But without the talents of all you fabulously creative vendors, this will not work. i would like to know if running the art market every weekend is too much. please let me know by answering the poll below….

This is great! I have moved out of Waterloo 3 weeks ago but can make it back every once in a while.

It’s a great idea! I’m in… but not sure if CCGG will let me, as I see in the gift shop, but you go girl! If you need any help with anything.. I’m there!!!

I could probably do at least every other week-end…maybe more!
Love the idea after having just come from Montreal and been in utter awe of their art community in the old city.

It is a grand idea. I hope it flies for you. Studio Factor eventually would like to be involved but we just aren’t there yet. Thanks for the invite.

I like the idea and if you can get the people it will be good. I haven’t had a lot of positive luck in Waterloo/Kitchener and that makes me a bit iffy. Thanks for the invite and i’d try it on a one time basis to see if it would fly for my product. Good luck!
