Happy Friday!

hello friends,
just a little update - we will not be holding an Art-to-Go event at Studio STK in September, since Burlington's South End Art Hop is happening on the First Friday weekend. Our next date will be the beginning of October - mark your calendars now and... well, I guess you can wait a little while. But definitely get busy making things, so when the time rolls around you can have a table of your very own!

We are considering changing the Art-to-Go event from Friday evening to Saturday afternoon... any thoughts?

Art-to-Go August

Thank you vendors!

Our August Art-to-Go had a terrific group of vendors, beautiful wares, but unfortunately very few people. I just have to say, everyone who was not there totally missed out, because the work was just incredible.

Kacey Boone, Subsixstudios



Claire and Brigid Barrett, Parasol Sisters



Janifer Dumas



Coleen McLaughlin, It's Elemental



Joanne Kalisz, Happy Fantastic



Once again, thank you vendors! You were all terrific and I hope to have you back again at Studio STK Art-to-Go!

oh did I mention...

... that we are air-conditioned?

Escape the heat + see and buy awesome handmade creations = fantastic evening at Studio STK!

Join us tonight!

Tonight is the night for the Art-to-Go DIY Show and Sell Night! Come on by and visit our great group of vendors... you will find jewelry, art dolls, clothing, fine art pieces, and more!

Hope to see you this evening!

Yay Poster!

Gearing up for the next big event!

So I have received word of three return vendors for August's Art-to-Go Do-it-Yourself Event! Claire Barrett, with her lovely jewelry; Kacey Boone of Subsixstudios, gorgeous jewelry designs; and Joanne Kalisz of Happy Fantastic, great t-shirts, dresses, bags and more! Thanks for coming back!

We are currently registering for August, so if you have some art, craft, or other creative goodness you would like to share with the world, now is your chance to showcase in a friendly, creative environment! Registration is $20.00, and includes a table or space if you use other furniture, and advertising online in Seven Days, posters and flyers around town, other online advertising, and more. Feel free to email me for more details or to request a registration form!

Thank you thank you thank you!

I want to send a big big Thank you! out to all of our vendors from Friday night! I hope you all had a good time, it was lovely having you and your amazing work altogether in the Gallery! I would love to hear feedback - questions, concerns, ideas, advice... this event is very much in progress, so your thoughts on how to make it better will be much appreciated!

Thank you also to our visitors - spread the word!

Here are a few photos...

Extra! Extra!

The surprises (sorry, I got so busy with fireworks and in-door grilling I nearly forgot!)

First off, new 12 North St. occupant, the Women's Whole Health Partnership, will be offering $5.00/10 minute massages for women during the Art-to-Go Event! How exciting is this? The new massage studio is peaceful and relaxing, and the owner, Ania, is one of our new favorite people around here. Such a great addition to the evening, and to our space in general!

Secondly, dug Nap will be joining us to promote his intimate, "unhatted" performances of his one man show, "My Imaginary Girlfriend." These performances will take place July 13 & 14 at Studio STK, and tickets are available through Studio STK - or buy them straight from dug tomorrow evening!

See you all then!

Beautiful things

In addition to our lovely guest vendors, Studio STK's Art-to-Go Shop will be open for business this Friday evening, with such wonderful items for sale as these beaded earrings by Jen Berger...



And handmade paper jewelry from Portland, Maine, design studio Ember Grove...



We also have some special surprises for the evening... well, I doubt they will be surprises long. Check back tomorrow (I just can't keep a secret!)

Coming up...

Can't say it enough - this is going to be great! Pass the news on to your friends, bring your kids! Food will be available, so make an evening of it!

(complete list of vendors can now be found on the sidebar -----> )

Updates and Goodies for you!

I updated The List, adding links and the last vendor additions. Now, we wait for the big day! Posters for the event can be downloaded in PDF form here. Please feel free to distribute them wherever you may go! I will be doing the same.

Also, if you are the owner of a blog, website, or other form of updateable online property, I have made an Art-to-Go DIY Show and Sell button by which you can proclaim your participation. Get it here or paste this block of code into your site:

Thanks so much to all the vendors! Everyone else... we're looking forward to meeting you on the 6th of July!

And we have music!

Local acoustic musician APR will be joining us for Art-to-Go DIY Show and Sell July 6th! Check out his news and some of his tunes at www.aprmusic.net

Vendor Spotlight: Claire Barrett

I personally think this necklace from WIlliston jewelry designer Claire Barrett is just terrific -



Clever and unique, the small pendants - each featuring a braille dot symbol - make a beautiful overall design as well! See more of Claire's work on July 6...

Official officiality

This is the Official official list. As of now. Maybe we will have an Official official official list later on... who knows! (yeah, I think the heat is getting to me, sorry).

If you want to send this out to all your friends and relations, or to your best friend at the New York Times, or just have a copy of your very own, shoot me an email and I'll shoot you a copy.

More vendor spotlights coming soon... (have we got some goodies!!!)

The Roster

Here is our official list (with the possibility of a couple additions) for July 6 Art-to-Go DIY Show and Sell:::

Kacey Boone, SubsixStudios
Joanne Kalisz, Happy Fantastic
Erinn Simon, Urban Farmgirl
Sara Davie, Eye Candy VT
Donna Underwood-Owens, The Vermont Animal Whisperer
Amy LaDona McGraw
George Breisch Gonzalez
Anthony Russo and family
Claire Barrett
APR Music

If you know any low-key acoustic musicians who would like to play some tunes, get them in touch with me!

On a side note, I have been experiencing some technical difficulties, so if you signed up for the mailing list any time before today, it probably did not go through. Sorry about that, but if you sign up again, I will make sure you are added!

Update:::

The next installment of our "vendor spotlight," here is a sneak peek at Joanne Kalisz' ever-so-adorable "Happy Fantastic" items...

Wow.

That's all I can say! We have had just a terrific response, so much that we have to close registration for this month so we still have room for shoppers! If you had your heart set on participating, but didn't get your registration in (for all you who have it on the way, I know who you are, don't worry!), let me know and I will put you on the waiting list for next month.

That's right. Same time, same place, in August!

Also, make sure you sign up for our mailing list (over on the right) to keep updated on Art-to-Go News and Events!

So much excitement!

So I think this Art-to-Go DIY Show and Sell is going to be a blast! We have had tons of great responses (emails are coming in just as fast as I can answer them - makes me feel very important!!) from local crafters and artisans and I am looking forward to letting you know a bit about each.

First in the door with a confirmation was Kacey Boone of SubSixStudios right here in Burlington. Kacey makes really lovely jewelry and accessories, I just love her color combinations.

There is still (increasingly limited) space, so if you are interested, email me right away and I will send off a registration form!
