We've got some exciting things planned for the upcoming year and look forward to sharing it all with you. Stay tuned folks...

2nd annual South Florida Swap-a-Rama-Rama

A couple of us are going to be volunteering at the 2nd Annual South Florida Swap-a-rama-rama and they are looking for more volunteers, you can check out their facebook page for more information.  Or, you can read the blog post I put up last year about the event to see what kind of awesome-ness it really is.

Indie Craft Bazaar Winter Wonderland: Saturday December 18th

A market full of creative talents will be open to the public on Saturday, December 18th from 1:00p to 6:00p. A Winter Wonderland of independent artists and crafters will be providing handmade, re-purposed, vintage, recycled, and vegan goods. The Hollywood Craft Mafia are excited to take part in this holiday Indie Craft Bazaar and hopes to see you on Saturday at Cinema Paradiso in Fort Lauderdale. For directions, please visit http://www.fliff.com/location.asp

If you are in the south Florida area this weekend, please come by the mini Odd Duck Retro & Geek show.  Even though we called it a "mini" show... it won't be!  Rather than have only 10 vendors, we cut the table space in half and doubled the artitsts/crafters/makers.  This way we can have everyone showcase their best retro-est or geek-y-est merchandise just for you.  The holiday shopping season is here, haven't you seen all the commercials from the big-box stores?  Skip all that, come out on Saturday and get some good old-fashioned handmade gifts.  Supporting local arts and crafts is a noble thing to do and it is always fun to meet the artist in person.
Wanna know what you'll find at the show?  Who you'll find at the show?  go here
it will take you to our facebook events page, go ahead and click that you'll be attending.  And, for those of you who don't like to use facebook, you can go here to find the info too.

3-9PM Saturday, November 13, 2010 at Gateway plaza (1900 Block of E. Sunrise Blvd) Fort Lauderdale

Day of the Dead celebration in Hollywood Saturday night

Come join the Hollywood Craft Mafia Saturday night for a Day of the Dead live Art and Crafting party!  We will have artists creating live for you to watch and for pretty cheap, you can jump in and learn some crafts.  You can learn the traditional paper cuts for only $3.00 or decorate your own plush sugar skull for only $6.
There is plenty of free stuff too.  Firstly, and most importantly, you can soak up as much art as your eyes can handle (of course, taking the art home isn't free), Mexican munchies and virgin margaritas will be dished out free of charge for your pleasure.
A good time is bound to be had by all, so please, come on out Saturday night.
For Art Sake is located at 2000 Harrison Street, Hollywood (1 block south of Hollywood Blvd, just west of 20th)
