Santa Barbara Public Library invites local artists of Hispanic background to reserve a vendor booth for the Mercado Raíces y Sueños at the newly opened Michael Towbes Library Plaza, Saturday, Nov. 9.
Held in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, the Mercado is a part of Raíces y Sueños (Roots & Dreams) programming, a series of events honoring Hispanic immigrant culture in the Santa Barbara community.
The Mercado Raíces y Sueños offers an opportunity for artists to sell and showcase their work, support holiday gift-giving, and share their talents with the community.
Requirements for vendors:
- Must be a resident of Santa Barbara County.
- All work must be handmade by the applicant.
- All vendors need to obtain a seller’s permit from the city of Santa Barbara
The applicant must be the person who showcases their handcrafted originals from Santa Barbara artisans. Once an artist has been approved, they will be advised of the next steps to take.
The Mercado Raíces y Sueños has limited space. Register for the Makers Market (Over 17) or for the Youth Makers Market (Under 17).
The project was made possible with support from California Humanities, a nonprofit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
