What to do: Businesses

  1. Read and understand the Overview and Guidelines.  If you have any questions, please email our Business Coordinator. 
  2. Contact us. Email our Business Coordinator to be added to our email list.  For participation in the March 2008 to February 2009 Second Saturday year, we ask for a donation of $120 from participating businesses and $60 from participating non profits. 
  3. Reply to our emails.  We coordinate 2nd Saturday via emails, which is by far the easiest way for us to communicate with over 50 participating businesses!   We need you to read, and where appropriate reply to, our emails. 
  4. Select an artist.  For visual art, please email our Artist Coordinator for help with choosing an artist from our Artist Registry.  For performing art, please email our Music Coordinator.  Our Coordinators arrange the scheduling of the Registry Artists.  Businesses are encouraged to arrange for their own artists and email our Business Coordinator with the information, but please encourage those artists to join the Artist Registry.  The greater variety of artists we have to choose from each month, the more unique we can make each Second Saturday!
  5. Email us with your information!  Once you have scheduled your Artist/s, you must email the description to our Business Coordinator, before the deadline, to be included on the 2nd Saturday map.  The deadline is always the Friday 15 days before 2nd Saturday.  No exceptions. 
  6. Help us advertise!  Please prominently display our poster, hand out our post cards, and when we send you “email releases”, send them to your email list and friends! 
  7. Plan in advance. When one 2nd Saturday has passed, select the next artist for 2 months out. This gives plenty of time to arrange with the participants.
  8. On Second Saturday:
    ~     Please display our balloons during 2nd Saturday hours, 6:00-9:00. 
    ~ We recommend putting out some sort of refreshment to create a welcoming and festive atmosphere, and keep people returning!  It does not have to be anything fancy; juice and cookies, wine and cheese, water and pretzels are all great!
    ~ If there are any issues on the night of the event with artists we have helped place, please contact our Artist Coordinator for visual artists, our Music Coordinator for performing artists, or our Business Coordinator if you cannot reach that person.
  9. Be respectful of artwork.  Please do what you can to protect displayed artwork from disrespectful patrons: do not allow patrons to lean against, move, or otherwise risk damage to, artwork.
