The Alameda Mini Maker Faire is an all-ages event that brings together science, art, craft, homesteading and engineering plus music, food, and performance.

 

We are looking for 70+ makers to showcase their work, including DIY enthusiasts, businesses, artists, and crafters. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience interactive exhibits, meet like-minded individuals, and be inspired by the creativity and innovation of the maker community in Alameda and beyond.

 

Exhibits that are interactive or highlight the process of making things are especially desired.  

 

Entries

The first step to participating in the Maker Faire is to submit an entry (form opens 3/21) that tells us about yourself and your project. Entries can be submitted from individualsgroups such as hobbyist clubs and schools; commercial makers or crafters; startups; and companies.

 

Note there is no fee to participate in the Maker Faire if you are not selling a product.  If you are a “commercial maker” and want to sell, booth fees are $50. 

 

Questions?  Email us at alamedammf@gmail.com – we’re happy to help!

 

Maker Exhibit: Our standard setup for a Maker exhibit is an 8’x10′ space. Use your space to display your work and/or demonstrate how you make something. If you need more space for your exhibit or project, you can let us know in the Call for Makers form.

 

If you have any questions about participating in Maker Faire, please contact us by email: alamedammf@gmail.com.
