Just wanted to out some feelers to see if there are any members interested in participating in Culture Crawl again this year. @flashstick and I have already registered and we certainly welcome other VHS members to participate in the show. Many of the members make some really cool stuff and it would be great to see them on display.
Last year we had over 1800 people over 4 days come through the space to see the Art put on by @Metal_Janet@xquared@flashstick and myself. Some of those visitors we transitioned into members and we definately gained some exposure to the community. That’s 1800 possible members to the space, and 1800 possible customers to you as an artist.
If you have any questions about Culture Crawl feel free to reply to this post or raise your question in #culturecrawl on slack. Early Bird Registration is now open so if you are interested register now and save yourself 40 Dollars. This discount is open until June 16th so if you are looking to Sign up now is your best chance to save some money.
Not sure if I’d exhibit, but putting it out there that I would be happy to take some shifts at the space touring visitors and/or covering for exhibitors who wanna get out to the Crawl themselves!
Thanks for the offer to help out! Volunteers are always welcome to help out the week of the event. I’ll put out a reminder asking for help when the dates get closer for sure. There are plenty of ways you can volunteer from tours, to cleaning the space. Even dropping by with a few friends are great ways to get involved.
FYI @Tybot@elizabot@cory@demon_in_kel@Metal_Janet - Early bird registration ends tomorrow. If you haven’t signed up this is your last chance to snag that discount. So far i just see 3 registered to VHS - though some of you maybe in a different studio.
I’m late to the starting line but if there’s room, I’d love to join the festivities. As seems par for the course, I’ll be both responsible for all my own impact but also if there’s anything I need to know/do before I actually pull the trigger and sign up to show, I’ll do my darnedest!
I’ve got pretty much everything ahead of me, so a busy few months of making before I can show stuff off. Motivating, eh?
Awesome! the more the merrier! Once you register make sure you get your profile setup on the culture crawl website. If you don’t already have any you should consider getting some business cards printed off in case someone wants to reach out to you after the show. I had lots of people ask further questions after the show and more importantly sales from people who came through the space during the Crawl.
There is a slack channel to join #culturecrawl where we can try and get organized a bit closer to the date.
Sept 15 is apparently the deadline for creating/updating your Crawl artist profile for changes to make it to print and online catalogue. Get those profile photos in.
