Call for Artists!!
Its official, The Snohomish Tribe of Indians will have a booth at several Farmer's Markets this year. We are looking for all Artists, of any type. Through this effort, we can both offer Artists a way to market and make money off your work, and create fellowship with others in the tribe. We would really enjoy hearing from all who want to participate. Volunteers needed to help at the show, inventory the work submitted by our artists and process paperwork. Please contact Eric Hall (ca5@snohomishtribe.com) for more information and to get involved.
