we are Indie Chic

the official Indie Chic @ 10th Street info

I bet you were thinking, right about now, “well, that’s done. We can resume our normal routine until the new year.” Au contraire, my friends. We’re just getting started!

We’re currently seeking out vendors for the first annual Indie Chic @ 10th Street event at ASU Art Museum. This is going to be a unique experience- definitely not your grandma’s-doilies-and-grandpa’s-cuckoo-clocks type of craft fair.

Make something fun? Different? Maybe a little weird? We wanna know. Come sell it here at the museum on Dec. 5. **But** we’re picky. You’re gonna need to rock our socks. Submit an application through our web site (or click the image above to get there). Show us how creative, original and fabulous you all are… and don’t forget to show us what you sell!

ASU Art Museum Defining Sustainability season covered on Treehugger.com

Click the image above to read the entire article on the ASU Art Museum’s latest season of exhibitions titled Defining Sustainability. It’s exciting for us that so many people are also interested in this subject- one we all know is not very new to artists.

Come by the museum Tuesdays – Saturdays through January 2010 to see all of the exhibitions in person. An added bonus – the first Saturday of each month the museum has free hands-on art projects for the kids! Check out our web site calendar for dates and times.
