Artists and Musicians Wanted for Oakland Farmer’s Market!
Hello,
The Oakland Farmer’s Market begins in June and the Oakland Business & Improvement District is looking for Oakland based artists to sell their creations and musicians to perform at the market.
Each artist will be able to display their work and sell it without paying vendor costs or commission fees – so you keep 100% of your sales! We only ask that you be responsible for the set up, break down, and collection of any funds from the sale of your work.
This will require each artist or a designated representative to be present at the market. Come show off your talent and network with the community! The Artist Showcase will be held on the last Friday of each month during the Market season.In a band? We are also looking for musicians who can play each Friday. If you have an acoustic set of songs you and your band mates are free to busk!
Market Hours: 3pm – 6:30pm, Dates: June 29th – November 9th
