Plans for October's Fair Trade Month

As you may be aware by now, October is Fair Trade Month and Karuna Village and the Fair Trade Cafe are busy making plans to play our part in the proceedings. We are currently in the process of buying a variety of fair trade art pieces from around the world in readiness for our forthcoming pavement art sales, set to begin on Saturday October, 4th at the Fair Trade Cafe in downtown Phoenix (see http://azfairtrade.com for a map). The pavement art sales will be held every Saturday throughout the month and, if successful, we may well continue them on a regular basis. [Note: by "pavement art sale" I mean a sale of art on the pavement/sidewalk outside the cafe, not an exhibition of "pavement art" as in chalk drawings on the sidewalk! Just in case anyone gets confused with my British terminology!].

The art purchases will also go towards building up our stock in readiness for the exclusive Karuna Village exhibition which will run from First Friday in November (7th) through the Christmas period up to the last Sunday in December, when we shall return to the exhibitions of our local artists.
However, there will still be a substantial showing of Karuna Village art in the cafe for those looking to purchase something original and unique and which helps indigenous artists around the world. I will be highlighting some of the new art as it arrives, so watch this space!
