The Depot Youth Advisory Board Presents:
The Freight Market 

The Depot Youth Advisory Board is excited to present The Freight Market, an event for youth and adult artists to sell and display their art in a booth or tent. The event which is being held June 19, is an opportunity for artists and visitors to sell and display their art in an outdoor setting where COVID-19 guidelines will be enforced.

For high school artists, a booth will be provided and will cost $25. For non-high school artists, a 10’x10’ tent with weights will be mandatory to bring and will not be provided. Non-high school artists will also be required to pay a $75 fee to sell their art.

If you or someone you know is interested in selling art at this event, view the artist application registration form available here.

Restaurant Revitalization Fund Now Accepting Applications

The Federal American Rescue Plan Act authorized $28.6 billion to the Small Business Administration (SBA) for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund to help provide emergency assistance for eligible restaurants, bars, and other qualifying businesses impacted by COVID-19. The SBA is currently accepting applications via their application portal. The portal will remain open until all funds are exhausted. It is expected that this program will be extremely competitive, so we encourage businesses to apply as soon as possible. More information is available here.
