Now accepting Shareholders for the 2013 Season!

Greetings!  

The Harrisburg CSA (Community Supported Art) is now seeking Shareholders for our 2013 season! 
A Community Supported Art program functions like another CSA: Community Supported Agriculture.  With the same buy-local spirit in mind, our system is designed to support local art, artists and collectors.   Shares ($150) will buy two works of unique art from makers in your community. This is a one-of-a-kind program in Harrisburg, and one that works very hard to provide a fair wage to the artists and a decent price to shareholders.
Here’s how to become a shareholder:

1. Purchase your share through the MakeSpace donate page.

2. Check your email to receive a pick-up date

3. On your given date, come to the Home Grown Market (1423 N 3rd Street) to receive your artwork. The Home Grown Market is open to the public every third in the Burg. vist the Home Grown Market website

4. 
Contact for further information or for any questions: hbgartcsa@gmail.com 

5. 
Read our blog for updates and articles: artcsahbg.blogspot.com.
 Please join us for our CSA soiree on October 13th for a meet and greet hosted at the Home Grown Market (1423 N 3rd Street). Works of art from our season’s artists will be on display, and there will be light refreshments provided. 

Thank you!
