Hello Pocono Artists and Artisans,
PoconoArts is taking space at the
Olde Engine Works Antique Marketplace, 62 North Third Street, Stroudsburg for a POP-UP SHOP opportunity.
Do you have interest in selling your beautiful original work in a non-traditional setting? We think it is a great opportunity.
The Olde Engine Works is open 7 days a week from IOAM-5PM, has security cameras, and multiple participating vendors all take turns staffing the 20,000 foot space. Olde Engine Works successfully remained open for business throughout quarantine by encouraging social distancing and mask-wearing. 
The vendor stall space for the Pocono Arts Council booth is close to the check-out register on the left side and includes wall and floor space. PoconoArts is expanding the space all the way to the corner allowing for more artisans and artists to participate.
SIX MONTH OPPORTUNITY: The PoconoArts POP-UP SHOP would last for six full months split into two sessions, (FALL SESSION - October I-December 31, 2021 or WINTER SESSION -January I-March 31, 2022.) Sign-up for FALL or WINTER or BOTH. A current membership in The Pocono Arts Council is required for this opportunity. https://poconoarts.org/ioin/
COSTS: You would have 3 full months of space for $100, either FALL or WINTER. Or commit to 6 months for $180. Pocono Arts will take 20% commission if you volunteer one shift a month in the booth, or 25% if you choose not to volunteer. Staffing the booth is an opportunity for you to represent your own work and support the Pocono Arts Council. You will have no responsibilities for the sales transactions, just being courteous in the booth.
TRANSACTIONS: All sales would take place through the Old Engine Works Marketplace register. Olde Engine Works will collect sales tax and report sales by Artisan to Pocono Arts Council. PoconoArts will pay the Department of Revenue collected sales tax. The Olde Engine Works Marketplace pays Pocono Arts Council. PoconoArts would take a commission and pay you monthly. (October sales paid in November,
November in December...) (Information for any 1099's would be required at set-up.)
MARKETING SUPPORT: Pocono Arts Council will support each three-month opportunity with a press release, a local postcard mailing, signage and display in the Main Street Gallery Window of samples from participating artists/artisans, an online Gallery including links to the artisan's website, e-news and social media. Artists and Artisans can provide images or rely on PoconoArts' booth photos.
DISPLAYS: We will have some shelving and antique furniture surfaces for display. Or you may bring your own. We are looking for locking display cabinets for small goods. Shout out if you can help us with that.
Things we learned in 2020. Shoppers valued well-made functional or wearable work. Shoppers valued local interests and images. Shoppers were looking for unique gifts. Shoppers were willing to buy bundled craft/art supplies as well as finished work. Shoppers did not purchase items they could have made for themselves. There is already a vendor in Olde Engine Works with a large inventory of vintage jewelry.
Pocono Arts Council is asking for your commitment and payment by September 24th. You can sign-up on line from the following link and upload or email 3 photos (work samples, display, logo, or headshot) to info@poconoarts.org.
