Artisans of Houston presents: A Fair to Remember
Contact: artisansofhouston [at] gmail.com
HOUSTON, TX


Come shop early for all of your holiday gifts at the 2nd Annual "A Fair to Remember", hosted by the Artisans of Houston.

This artisan market extravaganza will be held on Saturday, October 23, 2010 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm at a new location: Bethany Christian Church, at 3223 Westheimer Road between Kirby and Buffalo Speedway, next to Lamar High School. The parking lot is behind the church off Bammel Lane.

Both admission and parking for this event are free. Participating artisans will be donating some of their handmade creations for silent auction to the church.

All items for this event have been handmade by the artisans, and include: fiber arts, handbags, jewelry, mixed media art, paintings, photography, sculpture, stationary, stained glass, wallets, decor, and more.

Artisans of Houston is a group of artists and crafters in the Greater Houston Area. Members of the group have individual online shops on sites such as Etsy.com and sell their handmade goods at shows throughout Texas and the United States.

Don’t miss it!

Next meeting of Houston Artisans is scheduled for August! :)

The Forum, an assisted living center located right at the intersection of I-10 and 610. Map here:

We will be announcing information about the date and location of our fall show after that meeting, and discussing it there. So if you attend, you will be among the first to know. We have adopted some bylaws, which will make it possible for our group to be a non profit. This has many advantages to us as a group and as individual members.

Third Tuesdays in August(17), September, October, and December will begin at 7:00 pm at:

The Forum
777 N Post Oak Rd
Houston, TX 77024

We are allowed to bring food in to this location, but it is not a restaurant, so brown bag or drive through on the way. :) After a long summer break, we'll all enjoy seeing each other again. Be sure to bring along new creations to share after the business portion of the meeting is completed. We will begin planning for the fall show, which will be at a great location!

If this is your first meeting to attend, please read the Artisans of Houston 101 post so you can have an idea of how the meetings run. You do not need a personal invitation from a current officer or member if you are a Houston area artist or artisan with or without an Etsy shop.
