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 3^rd 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 3^rd Street). Works of art from our season’s artists will be on display, and there will be light refreshments provided. 

Thank you! 

The C.S.A. idea has fully made the leap from agriculture to art!

Still working out what Community Supported Art is and means for you?  Here is a great article with some information on what it means to support local art and artists!

Deadline Extended until Sunday August 1st

Great News! We decided to extend our CSA artist application deadline to make sure a few more of you make it in. You now have until SUNDAY JULY 7th to get your info in and apply for FREE! You can apply up to August 1st after that for a $10.00 entrance fee for up to 5 images.   If you already applied, thank you so much and you can take a deep breath with a sigh of relief for you hard work to get that application in to us on time. You are truly the best. 
  Guys, really, don't sweat this.  We are looking for artists (fine artist, sculpture, craft makers and more...) to simply show us what they do and apply. Seriously, we want you to be a part of this!  Send us 3-5 images of your work and a cover letter about what you do and what you might like to create for the CSA. Please also tell us where you are from in the Central PA area. Once you are accepted into the CSA for this season we will ask you to make several "art shares" (FYI one commissioned share = $50 value).  The short of it is we are going to "commission" you to make your work and provide you with compensation to do it. Isn't that just awesome?!
  You will have several months from the time you are accepted to prepare your work, but we need to have our artists lined up soon so we can get things set for the big pick up day!  Our goal is to get patrons to purchase "shares" from the CSA and on designated pick up dates our share holders will come pick up their "fresh from the garden art box" which will contain all the goodies our CSA artists have made! This gets your artwork into the hands of the people who want it, and gives you the incentive to create and recieve compensation to be an artist!
We are waiting to see what you do...  so hop to it and please send your application to: hbgartcsa@gmail.com
