Introduction to.. The Extravaganza..

is a 30 hour multimedia event bringing together diverse creatives for mutual audience growth!

I’m bringing together Artists, Artisans, Musicians, Comedians, Poets.. and other performers in to one 30 hour hybrid event for one reason- PROMOTION of each other!

It’s a Location Anchored Event..
I’ve found a super cool space at the corner of Queen W. and Ossington.. as HOST for this amazing 30 hour event (and they’ll *probably* host future events for local exposure!). At 2300 sq. ft. of open Downtown Toronto space~ no pillars, no corners, entrance on Queen St. and exit on to Ossington after you’ve PURCHASED some cool, low price/ Blow Out Art!

My goal is to get as many people through the door.. as many people viewing the artwork as possible.. so I didn’t go out and ask realtors for available spaces, I looked to Film/ Video Property management companies and Event Space Property Management companies for the potential spaces.. and this one spot emerged as THE perfect spot.

And the cool thing? The spot isn’t just an empty warehouse in a hard- to- get- to location like the Warehouse District.. it’s right in the thick of things! Easy for foot, transit, and vehicle access!

Onsite will be an artists “show and sell” with low- rent exhibitional options like security fencing and one- directional, no reentry purchase motivation. I admit- it’s a high pressure sales environment.. not for the artists but for the customers~ if they see something they like, they need to use the QR code to purchase it right away since someone behind them might march off with it before they get to the check out OR- someone online might purchase the item with no notice (inventory is listed as one item on hand; not to be sold when sold out< using SHOPIFY for inventory control and sales processing>).

Wanna Show & Sell?

 

But I’m not just an artist.. I am also a seasoned artisan!

.. I’ve sold at major artisanal markets from Vancouver to Ottawa and, coming from a promotional/ publishing background, I know that there is so much more that event organizers could be doing to draw in new, and vibrant, customers. But they aren’t. So, *we* as vendors need to examine as many different avenues of outreach as possible. This event is purposed to PUSH people to your profile.. and to your DIRECTORY listing that has~ if you wanna use it~ a direct, shoppable component!  

So, starting *as soon as permissions arrive* I’ll be hosting Listening Parties, publishing reels and videos.. and a TON more to promote The Event… I do ask that interested parties, also, help.. FYI: my entire METAverse got nuked awhile ago.. years of posts, years of work.. followers (and following people) all GONE up in smoke because.. I do not know why! So, I am handicapped.. your posts, shares, and mentions will help me GROW.. but don’t think I’m leaving it at that- I’m also going to be reaching out to local and national news, media, and bloggers aplenty in order to maximize audience awareness and interest.. all purposed to get people converted to YOUR customers!

Wanna Show and Tell?

 

And the FUN STUFF!!
I’m going to be scheduling things like “Watch Parties,” “Listening parties,” a Comedy Stream.. and specialty content such as Body Painting, Poetry Performances and MORE! Using the ZOOM EVENT structure, scheduling all this as specialty content is ‘easy peasy.’

Oh- I’m aready networking with MANY venues across Canada to stream the Phreaq0ut Film Festival submissions.. and interest is VERY POSITIVE!
