Orlando Arts Teams

Name: Orlando Arts Teams
Search for items from this team: Orlando Arts Team

Profile: We cover Central Florida's Orange and Seminole counties. Our team seeks to provide a community for its artists that can be a support and idea center, as well as a place to circulate knowledge about craft fairs, co-ops, and similar opportunities. This community is truly needed in our area, as there are many creative artists that are fragmented with no community. Anyone interested in the creative arts can join, including artists, crafters, suppliers, designers, photographers, bakers, and more! We aim to share ideas through a blog and myspace. We will schedule ETSY chats, in person meet and greets, and come together for craft fairs. Members will have the opportunity to come together for advertisements and team-wide sales. This will also be a community from which local buyers can find local creative artists.

All our members feel that we need to promote in the area, knowing the economy actual situation,join efforts to overcome our limits and have the chance to make our shops and arts known in the area. We want to start by preparing a local show followed by other activities that allows as to be ready for the new season. For many store owners this a new possibility because we are mostly new on etsy.

Getting together will open the doors to know what the market needs and what can we offer. We also know that our area is very turistic and we live from the early birds and people who come and go to Florida for retirement or vacation ,so we hope to keep our team and shops alive for the rest of the year.

Name: Nature Coast Crafters

Profile: We are looking to have a tight knit group to go around and participate in local events with each other. For those who do not have enough to fill an entire space, we would pair them up with other(s) who they could share a spot with. A big rolling convoy of crafters who help support and promote each other. When someone is unable to make it to an event, we will bring either a few items to display/sell for that person along with any brochures/cards/ect.
