Just a few days left to apply! Application deadline is May 31st!

It's that time again!

We are hosting our second Mini Art Festival, and we’re inviting local artists from Northeast Ohio to help transform our multipurpose room, The Vale, into a small but mighty marketplace. Our first Mini Art Festival in January was a smashing success!! We look forward to our summer festival being even bigger and better!

We’re seeking 12-15 artists who create handmade, original work. This event is focused on artists who truly make their items. No 3D printing, mass-produced designs, or Cricut-style tumblers. Think paint, ink, fiber, clay, wood, paper, metal, and thoughtfully crafted pieces made by human hands. If you're not sure that your craft applies, feel free to send us a message!

If you're interested in being considered, please fill out the below Google Form.

Artificial Intelligence- AI.

I'll admit, it's interesting and it's kind of unbelievable that we're living in a world that actually has AI. I'm a big SciFi fan and it is intriguing, but the harm it causes outweighs the intrigue surrounding it. As such, we are fully committed to only stocking human made books and art in our store.

We've never made a public statement before, even though we've had this rule from the beginning. With the disappointing announcement from the largest bookstore chain in the US, we feel it necessary to speak publicly about this- we only support human made art.

That means:
-No AI written books
-No AI covers
-No AI editing
-No AI in any stage of the writing process
-No AI graphics
-No AI videos
-No AI art in any way

Now, there are a LOT of books out in the world and I will do my best to catch which ones have used AI. If we discover after the fact that a book in our store has used AI, we will remove it.
