Artta This World

So I went to Art Vs Craft in Milwaukee yesterday and had so much fun. For those of you who don't know what it is it is a very fun funky show with upcoming designers and indie crafters. It is refreshing to see different stuff out there. Kate Gadd put together a little flyer for Sputnikfest and I talked to a lot of people about it. They were so enthusiastic about the idea for the festival but also the idea for the art fair. The whole festival will have a retro fun and silly feel to it so we thought it would be fun to also have the art fair be the same so here's the idea....

Artta This World.... One side of 8th street will be the indie crafters the other side will be the fine artists. There will be a box on the app. for the artist to decide on their placement in the art or craft side. In the artist packet each artist will receive a few alien type koosh balls and other gear and a war between the two will go on during slow times. It will just be fresh new and fun. I talked to some of the girls at etsy yesterday and they are super excited about it and plan on participating. I go to a lot of fairs throughout the summer and it was so refreshing to see different artists and fun and funky stuff. All of the funky people love the idea I am curious how the fine artists feel about it? Please leave a comment.
