WHY SHOULD MY ORGANIZATION /PROJECT EXHIBIT AT THE EXPO?
So glad you asked. Art is essential. Art doesn’t fail in a bad economy. Art Works when Artists Work! Since the year 2000, Indy Arts has created a special place for independent art projects to engage with the public. In this, our tenth year, we want to show that despite a troubled economy Independent Art continues to thrive in The San Francisco Bay Area. And did we mention the very real possibility of up to 5000 attendees?
HOW DO I SIGN UP? HOW CAN I HELP?
That’s easy. Go to our Eventbrite registration page and sign up, and then watch for emails with more information as the day draws near. Then, RSVP on our Facebook page and then share it with your friends, encourage other Arts organizations and projects to come exhibit, and tell everyone you know to come out on September 26th.
