On October 1 (the same day as Coronation), an artists' faire is being
hosted in Oklahoma City. Titled the Canterbury Faire, it is being hosted
by the St. Augustine of Canterbury Episcopal Church (where the kingdom
heraldic and scribal symposium was hosted in July 2010). The faire is
open to the public and, in addition to artisan booths, children's
activities and food are planned as well.
The call has gone out for artists who wish to register for booth space
(there is a fee) to sell their crafts and the works of their hands and
to seek commission work. Artists sought include those who work in:
"acrylic, drawing, sculpture, jewelry, watercolor, photography, wood,
pottery, oil, graphics, textiles, glass, or other medium". To be clear
artisans are being sought to merchant their wares and arts to the
public. Artists who register will receive the following:
• Complementary continental breakfast Saturday morning which will be
available to all exhibitors/artists/vendors.
• One (1) lunch voucher per artist/vendor
• Assistance, if requested, moving your belongings in/out of building
• Booth sitter for lunch and necessary breaks during the Faire
• Publicity in conjunction with regular St. Augustine Canterbury Faire
publicity
So, if you are an artist who wants to sell your produced art to the
public (much like a Christmas or Yule time crafts faire) and you are not
going to be attending Coronation, please visit the Faire web site
(http://staugustine.episcopaloklahoma.org/canterbury-faire-2011.html)
and consider participating. Registration forms and details (booth sizes,
times, etc.) are available on the website or on the registration
application.
Since the faire is Canterbury themed, wearing SCA period costuming while
merchanting would be welcomed but is certainly not required. This is a
facility which has had a favorable impression of the SCA through prior
facility use and I committed to pass this invitation along for them. In
fairness, it should be noted that this is a "church hosted event", not
just an event hosted at a church. Applications accepted for artists
would likely not include those selling certain explicitly pagan items or
adult novelties as such items would reflect back on the church as a host.
Please do not contact me as I am not responsible for this event. Please
contact the faire coordinator and the church through the details on the
website and registration form.
Respectfully,
Maitre Etienne de St. Amaranth
