MACA Spring Arts & Crafts Sale, 2025

ATTENTION: We are currently out of spaces for artists. If you sign up, you will be placed on a waitlist.


Thank you for your interest in participating in the Spring Arts & Craft Sale, a special event hosted by MAC's all-volunteer nonprofit friends group, the Multnomah Arts Center Association (MACA). MAC students, staff and instructors who have taken a class or worked at the Center in the past year are eligible to participate.

 

Dates: Friday May 2nd and Saturday 3rd, 2025. Sale hours are Friday, 9 am - 8 pm and Saturday, 9 am - 4 pm.


Location: In the lobby and hallway of MAC.


Signup: BEGINS AT 9 A.M. ON FRIDAY, 4/4 (April 4th). Please do not submit this form before then. You will have to do it all over again!


Deadline: April 25th or when available spots are filled. There are spaces for at least 40 artists to participate. Anyone who signs up after those spots are taken will be placed on a waitlist.


Setup: MACA volunteers set up tables, shelves, and lights for the event. The available space is divided amongst the participating artists. Each artist is randomly assigned to a spot. Artists typically end up with a space that is approximately 3' x 4'.


Attendance: Artists will set up their displays on Thursday, May 1st. There are two shifts to choose from on this signup form. Artists will take down their displays from 4-5 pm on Saturday, 5/3 and stay to assist with striking the remainder of the sale (taking down their display, returning tablecloths, and folding tables).


All artists must sign up for one or more volunteer shifts during the event. During those shifts, you will be assigned to one of several possible jobs:

  • Setup - helping to set up the tables, shelves, etc. prior to the event
  • Customer service - answering customer questions and restocking displays
  • Wrap table - wrapping and bagging items that have been purchased
  • Hold table - ensuring that hold items are picked up or returned to the displays


Attendance is not otherwise required. Your display will be restocked by other artists during their volunteer shifts, if you have overflow items available. All sales will be handled by MACA volunteers.



BY COMPLETING THIS FORM, PARTICIPANTS AGREE TO THE DETAILS ABOVE AND THE FOLLOWING:


  • Artwork must be priced before setup with labels provided by MACA. Prices must be in whole dollar amounts as we will not be making change with coins during the event. The artist’s name will be printed on the tag, leaving a space for the artist to write in the price. The label size is 3/4" X 1/2".
  • Artists receive 65% of their sales. MACA uses the remaining 35% to support arts access at the Center. Checks will be ready within 5-7 business days after the event. MACA assumes no responsibility for lost or damaged items.
  • Artists must complete a W-9 tax form prior to receiving payment if their sales total $100 or more.


Please email MACA Sale Coordinator, Joanne Sheehy (sheehyjp@gmail.com) with any questions or if you need accommodations with either the application process or the event itself.


We look forward to seeing you and your art!
