Coming up ... the Bazaar goes to the dogs Oct. 27

We're winding down the 2013 season on Sunday, October 27.  This is your last chance this year to set up as a vendor, so if you're an antique dealer or individual or an artist, check out the page on "Info & Policies," fill out the "Agreement" page, and send it in with your payment.  Call 859-468-4820 if you have any questions.  We'd love to have you be a part of this neighborhood event.  And don't forget, the dogs will be joining us in costume in a "paw-rade" at 3:00.  Many of the dealers will stay on until 4:00 to accommodate everyone.  So pack up the dog, the kids, your friends, and visit us for a good time!

New Perceptions Art Abilities

Our featured non-profit arts group this month is New Perceptions' Art Abilities Program.  The Art Abilities Program is an extension of a pre-existing, “in-house” Life Skills program, designed to teach skills for life to its employees. It allows the participants to experience art at many levels using various mediums, methods, levels of instruction and levels of creativity.  The Art Abilities Program grew from serving a handful of participants with the desire to draw and paint, to serving 50 or 60 each week, creating artworks in areas such as photography, ceramics, mosaics, sketching, sculpting and more.  The participants exhibit at various local galleries and art shows.  For over 50 years, New Perceptions has served the special needs individuals of Boone, Campbell, Kenton, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Owen and Pendleton Counties in Northern Kentucky. The mission is to promote the welfare of children and adults with developmental disabilities (and their families) by providing opportunities for education, growth and employment in a normalized setting, in order to facilitate each individual’s achievement to their maximum potential.

What a beautiful day it was yesterday for the second event of the season for The Village Vintage & Arts Bazaar, and a great turnout of vendors! Let's keep up the momentum and spread the word! Mark your calendars for the next event, Sunday, June 23. Let me know if you'd like a space!

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Thanks to all those who braved the April Showers at our inaugural Village Vintage & Arts Bazaar this past Sunday.  In between the raindrops, the sun did come out, and so did the shoppers!  We met several new people interested in setting up at future Bazaars too!  Now we look to our next event, May 26.  We know that April showers bring May flowers, and hopefully good weather too for Memorial Day Weekend.  Mark your calendars now, and plan to set up and/or shop!  Call 859-468-4820 or email 4thSunday@fuse.net with any questions.
