Looking for Handcrafters
Description
The Arts Compass is a Purpose driven Social Network for Handmade Outreach and the development of Local Economies
In the wake of the COVID19 meltdown.. I want to do something different for Artisans and the retailers that sell handcrafted items.
But.. what IS the Arts Compass??
=> It’s a social network.. so that means you’ll have your own Profile and you’ll be able to post photos, videos.. articles.. make connections.. but there’s more.. so much more!
=> Membership is limited.. only VETTED handcrafters and merchants will be accepted- that means Site Members are Like Minded and looking to build their business.. together!
This means..
The Arts Compass is not a retail entity.. no sales take place thru The Arts Compass. Only connections. Think of it as the constant, ever- growing online Wholesale Marketplace.. but geared specifically to Handcrafters and Local Retailers.
I’ve done wholesale shows.. they are expensive and draw in the wrong retail demographic to make it worthwhile for handcrafters and locally oriented retailers.. I’ve done markets for almost 10 years- practically from Coast to Coast. I’ve also worked in publishing and film/ video production in varied roles. Perhaps you know my company name “Splat and Co” (well, we’ve rebranded.. we’re now “The General Bean” but that’s beside the point).. I might be a dread- locked hippie- punk.. but I’m bringing both experience and passion to this project.. for YOU!
But what ELSE is The Arts Compass doing?
==> Monthly Zoom based presentations.. kinda like a Trunk Show where you’ll have about a half hour to talk all about YOU to the ever- growing audience.
==> Seasonal, COVID19 safe events.. these are NOT “markets” these events will be neighbourhood based and designed as promotable activities to get people out of their homes and doing something FREE.
==> I’m also more than happy to share my knowledge with you.. publishing, video, ZOOM broadcasting.. anything. I am a resource.. let me help you!
So, if you are a HANDCRAFTER.. or, if you sell HandCrafted goods.. you owe it to yourself to log on to: Arts Compass Dot Com (no spaces) and download the application form now.
-Application forms are available on the website.. $25 USF download (can be applied to year one fees); email submissions with skype/ ZOOM interviews.
