Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter's mission is to Preserve the land and the human connection to the natural landscape, educate the local and broader communities about the value of nature, and nurture both the ecosystem and the people connected with it.  

This market aims to feature local artists whose work highlights the beauty of the natural world, fosters a deeper connection to nature, and/or inspires action to care for our environment.

Your work 

We request that you submit a link to your website or social media page with your application. We’ll use the imagery to help select a variety of work and mediums for the market so that your work will stand out! This is your time to SHINE! Please share the links that represent your work the best.  

Fees 

This market is meant to be a supportive market to advance Swaner’s mission and to help promote local artists aligned with that mission. There is no market fee but we do ask that vendors consider donating a small portion of your sales to Swaner’s mission (~5%).  

Promotion 

Swaner will promote this market through social media, local community calendars, radio, a press release, and through our monthly newsletter. We encourage you to give us a follow @SwanerPreserve. Each artist will be given a highlight on Instagram and on our website that includes images of your work and the artist bio you submit in your application. We will also create a landing page on our website with a link to your website or Instagram account so that customers can easily find your work again. The webpage for this market will be shared with you soon.
