The one year anniversary was cool to say the least. First Friday rocked and introduced a whole new group of people to the DAM-College Students. They, as with everyone, were very happy to see this in Lubbock. The Saturday DAM was little breezy and chilly-much like the opening Market a year ago. Still a success though, the big room was filled with plants and flowers-the gallery, garden and sidewalks with art work of all varieties. Couldn't ask for more.
People give yourselves a pat on the back, we're keeping this thang going and moving forward-Look uFor The Summer!

The First Anniversary!
Wow Folks its been a year since we started this little experiment...365 days of fun and work. Lots of work for lots of people and all of it worthwhile. The DAM has become one of Downtown L-Town's social events, in addition to showcasing local Artists and providing a spot to pick up great local produce. All in one year -Thanks to Y'all. The support and outpouring of love from our friends and neighbors has just been overwhelming-too good to be true. This is what drives us. This month the DAM is a two day event, Friday the 7th during the First Friday Art Trail 6-9pm and in its usual time on Saturday the 8th from 9am-3pm. That's two chances to come down and see what the hub-bub is about!
Y'all come see us, ya' hear!

Our Birthday Party is Coming
A couple scouts toasting marsh mellows. 4/10/10
The May Market will mark our 1st Ann. If you're a "DAM Marketeer" take note, Tornado Larry and I will be doing interviews of our vendors at the May DAM, and posting them here. So be thinking about your work, give us a little history about it, and just a bit about yourself. I hope all of you folks will let just do a few minutes with you so we can post them here.
So, on behalf of my friends "The Tornadoes" thanks Lubbock, this is the coolest thing I ever helped build.

April Is Here!
This Saturday the 10th is the next DAM. Wow Folks this will be the 11th Market, and the first for 2010 in the Spring time. We all know that means wind here in the Hub but a trip to the Market is worth a little breeze. We're expecting at least 30 Artists and Growers this month and even more as the weather heats up.
Next month-May 7th and 8th will be Art Market events, the 7th will correspond with the First Friday Art Trail and all of our folks are invited to set up for that night. Then we will be there for the DAM the very next day. Come stroll the neighborhood for two days of Art and Produce treasures.
This Saturday 9am-3pm The Downtown Art Market is happening in the Depot District.

The March Market
The March Downtown Art Market is here, Saturday morning. These in-between times seem to grow shorter every month. It looks like its going to be a chilly start but will warm up nicely. Y'all know how the weather is in Lubbock. Looks like we'll have 30+ Artists and Growers and the turn out is always good. There are some really cool places to see the DAM logo in town now and those really cool LED billboards are some of them. Thanks to the A-J for that one. Come join them at the DAM this month!
We'll be aiding the Lubbock Rape Crisis Center this month with publicity for the "Walk A Mile In Her Shoes" fund raising event. Lots of fun and word has it that Larry will don the heels this year.
Community spirit Folks, that what drives the DAM, y'alls commitment as vendors and supporters alike, those are the blocks that we will continue to build on. We start our second year in a couple of months and want to bring it up another level-music needs to be added to the mix, artistic demonstrations, another cooking demo-the list is limitless. Anyone have any ideas-tell us. we listen. this is as much for our enjoyment as it is for anyone's...lets keep it up.
