the beehive bazaar is the next two weekends: may 1-3 and 8-10 and you should mark your calendars right now. seriously, right now. go ahead, i'll wait.
. . .
did you do it? cool. here's why:
i have attended two beehive bazaars before and let me tell you: it is an amazingly creatively stimulating environment. it's more than just a regular ol' craft fair...the work found there is the best and most eclectic local hand-made stuff around. from handmade books to terrariums to glass ornaments to stationary to leather to jewelry to macaroons and more. honestly, i've been a little disappointed in the regular local craft fairs the past few years; i've felt like everything has gone more "corporate" or it's all pretty much the same stuff. i guess i was spoiled when i lived in new york a few summers ago and got to attend some fairs out there, but the beehive bazaar is the closest thing to the brooklyn craft fair i've seen. and that's sayin' something. :)
last year, they added the "fine art" slot, and have added some fine artists along with crafters so that patrons could be exposed to both worlds. somehow, my work has been accepted into one of these slots--what a great and humbling opportunity for my work to show next to some of my art heroes and friends. speaking of which, click here to see a video about one of those heroes/friends, and get a feel for the bazaar.
my work will only be up for grabs on the second weekend, may 8-10, but honestly i'm probably gonna pop in intermittently through both weekends because i personally want to buy of goods from many of these fine vendors and artists.
