What is the Pop-Up Shop?
The ArtsCetera Pop-Up Shop is a weekend venue for local craftspeople to showcase and sell their wares. It is located in the heart of Cobble Hill on Smith Street, one of the most popular shopping avenues in Brooklyn.
The studio is a 900 square foot storefront, located at 212 Smith Street, between Baltic and Butler Streets. It is a convenient two block walk from the F or G train Bergen Street stop.
Am I eligible to sell at the ArtsCetera Pop-Up Shop?
If you are a local artisan, who makes and sells hand-made jewelry, clothing, children’s items or gift items, you are eligible to sell at the Pop-Up Shop. Due to space limitations, smaller items will most comfortably work in our studio.
We hope to carry a variety of artisans, so that each seller will be unique in the Pop-Up Shop and not be competing with other Pop-Up Shop vendors.
How do I become a vendor?
Tell us a little about your work. If you can send images, or send us to your etsy store or other online store, we’d love to check out what you sell. If it’s a good fit for you and us, we will email you an agreement form which you will need to complete and return along with your payment.
What dates are available? And what commitment do I need to make?
Friday and Saturday, November 25th and 26th (Thanksgiving Weekend)
Saturday and Sunday, December 3rd and 4th
Saturday and Sunday, December 10th and 11th
Saturday and Sunday, December 17th and 18th
Vendors can load in anytime after 10 am, and for those doing both days, set-up can stay in place through the weekend, until break-down at 5 pm Sunday. We ask that sellers arrive on time and stay until the end of the day.
What are the costs? And how do I pay?
The cost is $75 per day or $125 for the full weekend. Payment options are credit/debit card, cash or check. Once you book your spot, payment will be expected within 3 business days. To pay with a credit or debit card please request a PayPal invoice.
Can I share a table?
It is possible to share a table. We would then just like to see what your fellow artisan will be selling. There is a $10 table sharing fee.
Is there a restroom?
Yes, there is a restroom on the premises.
Is there a dressing room?
The lavatory may be used as a dressing room.
How do I know my date(s) are confirmed?
You will receive a confirmation email upon receipt of your agreement and payment.
What if I’ve reserved and paid for a weekend and cannot participate?
Due to the economic times, if you are forced to cancel, and cannot find a fellow vendor to take your place, we will offer refunds less a $25 non-refundable cancelation fee. If you must cancel, we do ask that you make an effort to fill your spot to help our economic needs as well.
How will the Pop-Up Shop be publicized?
ArtsCetera will post information on it’s website, via Twitter, Facebook and other social media networks, and send an electronic press release to local news outlets. Our database of 1000+ families will be notified via email, and we will provide information for you to send to your lists as well.
