Help a Starving Artist Out

One time or recurring: How you can help
3% Cover the Fee

I don't want to raise my prices for vendors but I it costs a lot more to do everything these days. Your donation will help me cover the production, operational, and marketing costs that keep our ship afloat. the descriptions of each price point are an example of how I will use your donation.

I used to be able to offer 1-3 scholarships per market for vendors that were down on their luck or having cash flow issues. I have not been able to support these artists at the same rate in recent times because of the raising cost of existing on earth and my choice of supporting a maker's opportunity share of potential customers over higher vendor counts and budgets. Your donation of $70 could give a vendor the opportunity to earn enough in sales to cover a substantial life sustaining bill.

Are you my hero? a recurring monthly donation helps us plan for the subscriptions, fees, and red tape that come along with producing and managing events with so many moving parts and people.
