WA SDA Holiday Sale Opportunity

snowflake3cHow would you like to be able to display and sell artwork at one of the premiere shopping areas on the Eastside during one of the biggest shopping days of the year?  In conjunction with the Fiber Fusion exhibition at the VALA Art Center,  WA SDA would love to have a holiday sale on December 3, the day of “Redmond Lights”.  (Link to: http://redmondlights.com/ ) Redmond Lights includes a Luminary walk with ends at Redmond Town Center.  Musical entertainment, family activities, and the City hall tree lighting are all part of the event.

If interested, we need one or more WA-SDA members to organize and run this one-day sale to sell SDA artists’ work. Organizer(s) will receive a share in commission on sales.  Smaller pieces ($20-80) are recommended as being the most salable.

If interested, contact us by October 9 at event.surfacedesignwa@gmail.com
