This is the perfect time to sell one of your treasures and maybe buy another one! Items would include: Art supplies, art, wearable art, specific tools or wares of your media, jewelry, cool & funky kitchen items, books, artifacts and heirlooms. Please keep in mind Maynards has graciously offered their patio space to collaborate with us and be mindful that it is highly visible location and successful location – no junk please.

All creative entrepreneurs and artists of all media are welcome.

First Meeting with Roberto from ACCION

Arts Marketplace — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:41:08 +0000

Hi! I’m Meg Askey, and I’m a member of the Arts Marketplace. I’ve just started visiting with Therese and Miki on a regular basis and met Roberto Valdez-Beltran from ACCION last week.

Roberto and Therese provided me with a wealth of information that will help me start a (for now, mysterious) event in Arizona. And I’m going to share my progress with you. It will help keep me motivated and on-task and maybe seeing my progress will inspire others.

The first meeting was a basic meet-n-greet. Well, that was what it was intended to be. It quickly expanded into a presentation of my event proposal and brainstorming session for fund raising. Roberto advised me on ways that ACCION could help me re-establish good credit and suggested some people in the community that might be able to help me raise money for my event.

I left feeling excited and motivated to succeed. Can’t wait to see Roberto again next week. I’ll keep you posted by, well, posting.
