MACA Arts & Crafts Sale
Overview
Three times each year, the Multnomah Arts Center Association’s board and volunteers put on an Arts & Crafts Sale that attracts buyers from around the city to purchase local handmade artwork that supports the artists and the arts education programs of MAC. Artists are reimbursed 65% of their total sales and MACA keeps the remaining amount to reinvest into MAC’s programs.
Who can participate
All MAC Instructors, staff, and students involved in a MAC class within the past year are encouraged to participate. As space is limited, we encourage early registration. MACA reserves the right to close sign-up prior to the published sign-up deadline.
How to sign up
Sign-up is done online via a link found on this page, below. You can also sign-up in person at the MAC front desk.
NOTE: The link will only be visible when sign up is available. Dates for these seasonal sales are also listed below.
How to promote your participation
We encourage all artists to invite their friends and family, and to spread news of the event through social media. All sales are open to the public and hours are listed below.
MACA is still taking applications for MAC artists interested in participating in the Multnomah Days sale, but space is limited and we are approaching a full sale earlier than usual.
Sale Acceptance & Shift Assignment Notification: We will notify artists via email on a weekly rolling basis, beginning July 15th. Entry to the sale is first come, first served. Acceptance emails will include information about your assigned shift during the sale.
Sale participation and shift preferences will be assigned in the order submissions are received. Please note that, depending on availability and earlier submissions, you may be assigned a different shift than the one you selected.
