Etsy Artists of Spokane Craft Fair?

How fun would it be to gather together and do a pop up show? Obviously 116 shops is a little much but i wonder if we could partner with local businesses and do pop ups all over town... Would it work? Could it work? Has it already been done in Spokane?

Just moved here so I dont know too much about the Etsy community here but I thought I would plant a little seed!

I think it would be awesome. I have no experience with art and craft shows, but I've been wanting to be in one for a while now.

I don't really think we have an Etsy community here. Or at least I don't know of one.

There are some local spokane people that do pop up shops in spokane during the summer. I am not sure where the best place to go is during winter months. There are a lot of crafts shops every weekend until Christmas :-) There is a Spokane homemade facebook page that people post openings for craft shows.

I would love to work together to make this happen. I've done many vendor events with direct sales. The key to success is when each artisan shares an invitation via a link on their social networks. Sharing weekly then daily for 2-3 days before the event. It's usually not a problem setting up the event, it's getting people in the door. Often the first event is, well, uneventful, but with consistency we will build up a great following.
