The Chicago Craft Mafia is looking for a few new members to join the Familia.
New members will assist with the planning of the DIY Trunk Show, quarterly craft rackets and other networking events. We're looking to ramp up our involvement with the crafting community, and we're especially interested in fellow crafters who share our vision. As part of the Mafia, you can affect Chicago culture by promoting handcrafted goods, educating communities about the importance of artisan commerce, and helping new crafters take their hobbies and businesses to the next level. Members benefit from increased media exposure, national networking opportunities and a support system of like-minded individuals.
Apply here:http://www.chicagocraftmafia.com/join-the-mafia/ Note that you must provide links to photos of your products; these links need to be valid through September 15, 2011.
The deadline to submit your application is Friday, September 2.
Our Mission:
The Chicago Craft Mafia is a collaborative and non-competitive
organization of independent crafting business owners. We work together
to both foster our own individual entrepreneurship and support the
greater crafting community. Members of the familia pride ourselves on
the design, integrity and workmanship of our products and the ethics of
our business practices. Our goal is to increase these businesses retail
and/or wholesale exposure, by abiding by a DIY code of ethics.
The CCM is a local chapter of the national Craft Mafia.
Good luck, and happy crafting!
