[sudo-discuss] Omni's first Collabazaar, this Saturday from 12-8pm! - Call for Collaborators!

Hi all, We'll be hosting our first of a potentially bi-monthly pop-up bazaar featuring local artists, artisans and craftmakers this Saturday in the entrance hall. This is a last-minute call for collaborators - if you're interested in running a table, playing music, contributing art/crafts, or something completely different that would contribute to making the event awesome, please get in touch by sending an email to collabazaar(a)omnicommons.org I'm planning also to set up a table for info about the Omni. If you'd like to add literature/info/flyers about your collective, a class or event, I'll be setting up a dropoff spot behind the front counter later today. The mission of these Collabazaars is to create a sustainable model for fundraising for the Omni's monthly expenses while simultaneously providing local makers in our community with income and visibility to support their continued creative / artistic / crafty / culinary endeavors. It's something many of us have been talking about for awhile now, with limited volunteer energy to execute - but even if the first one is small I'm sure we can grow this! Collaborators confirmed so far: * Francisco Jimenez, Tucan Vinegars: Selling delicious homemade Costa Rican-style vinegars. Free tastings available! * Abby Normal Art by Antoinette Gaggero * Liberation Food Coop: Fair trade, fresh-roasted coffee, hibiscus lemongrass kombucha, and a variety of teas to sample. * Radical zines available by donation Please share the facebook event widely: https://www.facebook.com/events/1661603590723647/ Flyers will be available tomorrow afternoon at the front counter of the Omni if anyone would like to help with promoting!
