It is official....the MMCA Marketplace is now open! The shop owners have all been sitting back watching the clock today and as of 10PM EST we are in business.
So many of you have encouraged me along the way and have helped us spread the word already. Now we would like to reward you with the chance to win a surprise package of art ephemera, bits and bobs and lots of other great things. Several of the artists involved in the Marketplace have joined together to create a package that is sure to delight any mixed media artist.
If you would like to help promote the Marketplace by placing our badge on your blog or in a post you will find the code in the FAQ section of the Marketplace. Once you have posted it, then come back and leave us a message here in this post and we will add your name in a drawing to be held Monday, August 25th at Noon EST.
Speaking of promoting....be sure to pick up the October/November issue of Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion hitting the newsstands September 9th and look for our ad in the Artists' Gallery section. You will also find us in Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion Guide to Creative Living - A Sourcebook for Arts, Crafts and More to be released October 7th.
It has been a long time coming and I personally feel it was worth all the time I have put in to this business. I could not have done it without some wonderful shop owners giving me their feedback and their patience while we worked out little things, and waited on the attorney to hand over the last revised papers. Most of all I have to thank Steve and the kids....their patience has been tested over and over during the past several months and we all survived. Now I just need to find time to fill my own shop.
The girls and Doug have been patiently waiting for you to visit so hop on over to the Marketplace and enjoy some great works of art.

Debbie, my most sincerest congratulations to having officially launched this Marketplace. I know that it has been years coming to be and a great deal of time, effort ("blood, sweat and tears" is perhaps more appropriate?) goes behind it...And I just wanted to say that I am truly proud to be a member of MMCA and hope to be a marketplace member in the near future. CHEERS! and best wishes to its success for you and for everyone involved!
