Interested in selling your art or crafts? Don't miss this exciting opportunity for Concord Art Association members. CAA artists have been invited to sell art and fine crafts during Creative Concord's Art Jam in downtown Concord! This event drew 6000 visitors in 2023 and Creative Concord expects even better attendance this year. Fees for artist spaces will help fund CAA's 2025 Teacher Grant Program.
CAA will promote the sale on social media, email, and our website. Signage will be placed on site. Additional marketing will be done by Creative Concord both on social media before the event and from the stage at Todos Santos Plaza during the music performances.

All sale items must be original art or high-quality crafts, designed by the participating artist. This is a family friendly event, so please do not display products featuring nudity, violence, politics, or images copyrighted by others. One artist per space. Artists may not share a space.
