IF YOU MAKE IT OR TEACH IT…BRING IT!

All ages are invited to come chill, create and even sell their own creative works on the lawn. Come relax in the beautiful park setting, be inspired by the music (3 special concerts added!), try the tasty concessions available and enjoy the company of other creative folks.

1. CHILL & CREATE – FREE!

We invite all ages to bring their own craft/art/upcycling project to work on in the beautiful park setting. Long tables dressed in colorful tablecloths await you!  A great place for friends to meet and relax while working on a favorite project brought from home. Hey, even glitter is okay here…we’re outdoors!

FREE and NO FORM REQUIRED for the community tables (no selling). Just come with your project and create!

2. CHILL, CREATE & SELL – $5 / $10 EACH WEEK

We invite all ages to bring their your own craft/art/upcycled projects to sell! You’re even welcome to sell mini-lessons or mini-projects to complete at the concert. Be creative! If you have a creative/artistic skill — such as painting, drawing, card designing, crocheting, photography, upcycling, etc. — bring it! There are a lot of fun ideas on the web. You bring the materials, set your fee, show ’em how to do it and they have something neat to take home! Keep in mind we have audience members of all ages, too. You will be given a minimum of 10’x10′ area to set-up and design — have fun with your space! We supply the grassy spot, you supply the rest.
