| Oddmall is more than just an ordinary craft show. It's a celebration of uniqueness, creativity, imagination, and wonder where artists, crafters, and like-minded sorts gather to offer their unusual creations for public consumption. It's a forum for creative expression, a classroom for esoteric wisdom, a soapbox for wild ideas, a miraculous marketplace of the unconventional, a metaphorical Serengetian watering hole where the zebras and wildebeests of inspiration and artistry congregate amidst the snapping crocodiles and scorching sunbeams of originality and ingenuity. ...umm yeah. Anyway, it'll be fun. Trust me. |

Special Guest
That's absolutely right, our special guest for Oddmall: Chrishanukwanzamadan is none other than celebrity snark-o-potamus April Winchell of Regretsy. If you're not familiar with Regretsy, and even if you are, it's all about drawing attention to some of the wacky, kooky, craziness posted by the artists on super craft site etsy.com. Check out April and her whimsical friggery at www.regretsy.com. Oh, and also at Oddmall on November 6.
Public
Oddmall is open to absolutely everyone and admission is 100% FREE. It's the perfect place to get a jump on your holiday shopping.
Performers
We are looking for various performers to entertain the masses at Oddmall. If you are a musician, magician, juggler, dancer, balloon animal maker, or any other unusual performer and you'd like to strut your stuff at Oddmall please contact Andy at andy@andyhopp.com.
Vendors, Crafters, and Artists
What We are Looking For:
As a celebration of the unusual, Oddmall strives to showcase arts, crafts, and products that are a bit different from what you'd find at your local country craft fair. Anything weird, freaky, bizarre, off the cob, or just plain different is welcome fodder. We're talking jewelry, art originals and prints, t shirts, stuffed animals, clothing, games and toys, home decorating jazz, holiday ornaments and just about anything else you might think of. If it's creative, unusual, and you made it it's welcome at Oddmall (as long as it passes the jurying process, see below). Adult themed material is allowed but must be clearly marked as such and hidden from the eyes of passing children and the faint of constitution.
Jurying:
Oddmall is a juried show. This means vendors must pass a very simple screening process to ensure their products meet the quality standards of the show and they aren't presenting the same products as a dozen other vendors. To see if you pass the jurying process simply email a sample or three of your work (72 dpi jpegs, please) or a link to your website to Andy at andy@andyhopp.com. If you get confused and register for a booth without first submitting samples, don't worry; if you don't pass the jurying process for whatever reason I'll refund your booth fee and let you know why. We'll still be friends.
Booth Space:
Most of the vendor booths at Oddmall are 8' wide and 6' deep and include one table (6'x30") and two chairs. There are several oversized booths available (see the map below) and they are the SAME PRICE as the regular sized ones. Oversized booths will go to whoever signs up for them first, so get your wazoo moving and reserve your space!
Booth Fees:
Oddmall booths are only $100. Sharing of booths is allowed (encouraged, even) and vendors may purchase more than one booth each. Reserve your booth.
Extras:
Electricity and wireless internet access are included at no extra charge. We have a number of gridwall panels (6'x2' and 5'x2") which may be rented for a small fee ($10 a panel). Please email Andy at andy@andyhopp.com to inquire about panels.
Refunds and Cancellations:
A full refund will be given if you cancel by September 6, 2010. Cancellations enacted between September 6 and October 6 will be given a partial (50%) refund. There will be no refunds given after October 6.
Displays:
Vendors are encouraged to decorate their booths in whatever fashion they desire. Backdrops and hanging walls are permitted. You may bring additional tables and fixtures with you, if you like, but all display materials must fit within your allotted space.
