PRIDA in conjunction with The Bronx Museum of the Arts will operate an artisan market during special events that will take place at the museum in the months of April and May, 2013. (See “Events at the Bronx Museum” to the left.)
You are invited to sell your art, books and music at no charge to you, and tables and chairs will be provided by the museum. The Artisan Market Coordinator and vendor contact is Olga Ayala.
Please review the following vendor policy, FAQ.
Vendor Policy
All vendors MUST book their space and day of participation through Olga Ayala via email. You cannot invite another artist to set up a table or share a table with you without prior approval. Please refer these artists to Olga Ayala (contact info below). Authors will share a table with another author.
All artists and authors are welcome and the market is open to artists, artisans, and authors of all ethnic backgrounds with priority given to PRIDA artist members.
Space is limited and vendors will be rotated in order to avoid any conflicts between artists who create similar work, and to give each artist an opportunity to set up at least once a month depending on response and availability of space.
Once you’ve been scheduled you must honor your date. Unforeseeable circumstances arise from time to time; however, notice of cancellation is required ASAP as your space can be given to another vendor waiting for an opening.
If a vendor is a no show without canceling they will no longer be included in the market.
Spaces must be booked and confirmed through Olga Ayala via email no later than 12:00 Noon on the Wednesday prior to the date you request on the market calendar. You will get an email confirming the status of your request.
If you miss the deadline you can contact Olga Ayala via email from Wednesday till Thursday at 12:00 noon prior to the date you want to see if there is a space available for you.
In the event you need to cancel, please notify Olga Ayala ASAP via email.
