Call for Artists: Ferndale Underground Market

12225227090?profile=RESIZE_400xNovember 16 & 17, 2024
Detroit, Michigan

Ferndale parking structure: Troy Street at Allen
Saturday 10am-7pm & Sunday 11am-5pm
120 Artists
Deadline: September 30, 2024

Application fee: $20/Booth fee starts at $225

This show is being produced by Integrity Shows, the organization that runs Funky Ferndale Art Fair and other events. 

We're thinking it is a edgy version of a Christmas Market. Instead of little huts and bright lights, we have a cozy setting and a more up-to-date feel. We're including art, craft, DIY, cottage foods, authors...We expect that price points under $100 may be the most successful.

While most of Integrity Shows events are focused on the more traditional arts items, this one is open to DIY. For example, candles, silk screened shirts and soaps would not normally be in one of our events, but we are open to having well-crafted items like this.

The event takes place underground in the new Ferndale DOT parking structure. It is sheltered from wind and rain but not heated. It will be chilly but not cold. Ferndale is convenient to Detroit and the suburbs. It's home to many young families as well as young adults. It is the center of gay culture in the area.

Deep underground, beneath the Ferndale parking structure,(Troy Street at Allen) you will find our secret society of artists, makers, authors & bakers. But...like everything magic, blink and it's gone.

 

-Integrity Shows-

Fun events. Seriously.

SALES: WOW! I have not done this show since 2019 and I am so glad I was able to do it this year! A lot has changed since I last did this show; my art has gotten better, I display larger pieces, my prices have increased, and Cape Coral was ‘ground zero’ for the recent Hurricane Ian. 2017 my best year until this year, I almost DOUBLED my previous best at this show. I will tell y’all that my sales in the ballpark of over $5K!

Organization: Excellent! The Rotary does know how to put on a great and well organized show. We could even pick our booth numbers ahead of time. Communication ahead and during the show was great and there were plenty of Rotary members and volunteers to direct traffic and even help load or unload your supplies and art, if needed. Also one member came by on Sunday and took a short survey of anything “good, bad, or ugly” about this year’s show. Wow! I wish all shows did this...Kyle Wilson

Labels for a Meshpanel Wall / Advice

I know this might just be me sounding dumb, but how should I put labels on a meshpanel wall? I have already figured out my art tent, which artwork to put up and my art bin with a small table for a email sign up. But should I print little paper signs get them laminated and then put velcro adhesives to the back? I am asking because I am doing my first show in August 10th and I wanted to make price tags for everything, just making sure all of my ducks are in a row. How would any of you do it?

Larry Berman

I've been a moderator for AFI ever since Connie started the group. Time for a little self promotion.

I have almost 40 years experience doing art shows. Since 2004 I've worked with thousands of artists scanning their jury slides then editing digital images of their artwork or booth pictures, I also photograph artwork for jurying. And from time to time, I still get slides to scan. Though I can photograph any type of artwork I seem to get a lot of jewelry. I've always done free jury image evaluations and give free advice on booth images which is why I started this facebook group of over 5,500 members currently. If you want to do your own photography, I can walk you through how to get the best images of your artwork. I only charge if you want me to edit your images or photograph your artwork.
You can see examples of all of my photography at https://LarryBerman.com and see examples of my artwork photography at https://bermangraphics.com/digital-jury-resources/jury-slide-photography.htm

Booths Down the Middle?

I volunteer as the Art coordinator for a small arts festival in Fort Wayne Indiana. Members of the committee want to change the booth layout, instead of having the booths back up to the sidewalk they would like to put them down the middle. Of course I have my own ideas about this, but what do you say? Which would you prefer? This would be one row of booths in the center of the street.

Our past participating artists reported great sales, exceptional organization, and unparalleled volunteer assistance.

 

River Clay kicks off with our patron preview, River Clay Rendezvous, on Friday evening with great food and drinks for you and your helper/guest. Our artist market is Saturday and Sunday, set in the greenspace surrounding City Hall.

Our dedicated staff provides our artists with volunteer support, including help at load-in and load-out, breakfast, lunch, snacks, water, booth sitters, and an artist helpline.

12665465276?profile=RESIZE_400xArtist amenities include judging by art professionals, cash awards, personalized service by staff, indoor artist-staff only restrooms, high-quality work, and absolutely no buy/sell.

 

New Weekend:

In hopes of cooler temperatures for our artists and patrons,
and to get a little closer to the holiday shopping season,
we've moved River Clay to October 25-27.
Same great festival - just cooler!
