The July market is here!

This Saturday is the July edition of the DAM, hot fun in the Summertime folks! We're looking at 30+ Artists and Growers to show and sell their work to everyone who attends. After all this rain, get out of the house, bring the family and join us in what has become a shining spot in downtown Lubbock for over a year now. Meet your friends and celebrate what Lubbock has to offer. All varieties of art as well as locally grown produce and plants will be available. Help stimulate the economy on a real grassroots level and support the local folks-you'll feel good about it! Saturday he 10th from 9am to 3pm-its the 14th Downtown Art Market-it won't be the same without you!

Summer's Here!

Its going to be hot this Saturday in downtown, and not just because its the Downtown Art Market! Don't let the heat keep you away, as its the kickoff to the Farmers Market season. From 9am to 3pm this Saturday the 12th of June we will feature 30+ Artists and Growers in a communal downtown setting, its great fun each month.

This month we are putting out a call for more Folks to join us in this endeavor so if you are an Artist-even if you don't admit it to anyone, this is your chance. Rent a space and show your work in a supportive setting that is rapidly becoming a Downtown Lubbock tradition. Our Artists, Crafts People and Growers are a wonderful family and very supportive of one another. If you want to see a grassroots project in action, come yo the DAM.

Support the local scene, see you on Saturday...

Breezy and Brisk...

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

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.
