Get ready for the 2008 Detroit Urban Craft Fair -- apply by Aug. 15

Detroit and urban go together - how about Detroit, urban, and crafts? Heck yeah they do! The Detroit Urban Craft Fair began in 2006, the first of its kind here in Michigan. With an upswing in DIY crafts around the nation and, in some ways, Detroit oozing a DIY attitude, it seemed natural to start one up in the city. So, this is the third year and it will take place on November 15, between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. at the Fillmore (formerly the State Theatre). Deadlines for vendors are August 15 and vendors won't be announced until September but look for the usual handmade ware - earrings, soap, pouches, purses, dangly things, etc.
