Call for vendors for Spring 2021 WFU Virtual Artisans’ Fair
Shared on behalf of the Artisans’ Fair Planning Committee
Thanks to popular demand, we are hosting a Spring 2021 Wake Forest University Virtual Artisans’ Fair, connecting our talented vendors with those looking for the perfect gift, just in time for Mother’s Day and Graduation. The fair will be held virtually via Facebook on Friday and Saturday, May 7-8.
Are you gifted in art, woodworking, crafting or other creative skills? Do you want to share your handmade products with other Wake Foresters? If you are a current or retired Reynolda Campus Wake Forest employee, spouse of an employee or a student, you are eligible to participate. Vendors will set up a Facebook page with pictures of their goods which will then be shared with shoppers. Complete details and guidance on the Facebook setup will be shared by the planning committee upon registration.
Contact Dana Hutchens at hutchens@nullwfu.edu to request the vendor registration form registration. Vendor registrations MUST be submitted by Wednesday, April 21. The WFU Virtual Artisans’ Fair is a FREE event.
