2019 Shopping for a Cause Holiday Boutique

Sunday, December 1, 2 - 6pm

Thank you for your interest in our 6th annual Shopping for a Cause Holiday Boutique! Once again, Real Hopkinton Housewives and the Hopkinton Center for the Arts (HCA) are partnering to create a wonderful shopping experience that supports local artists and businesses. New this year, entry is free for all shoppers -- so we expect a great crowd!

Visitors entering the the HCA will be immediately surrounded by holiday cheer as they view gorgeous wreaths created by local artists on view in the Family gallery. They will then enter the beautiful Delbridge Family Performance for this event, and be welcomed with wine, appetizers, and live music as they browse through the unique collection of vendor booths. 

Registration and Jury Process
We are using a new registration system this year to ensure that we have a varied mix of products and businesses - and so that vendors (artists, craftspeople, and small businesses) have the opportunity to best showcase their goods to the jurors. Your submission will be viewed by the jurors the week of October 27, and you will be notified by November 5th if your business has been accepted for this event. If selected, the fee will be $50.

Event Logistics
Vendors are responsible for bringing a table, setup and breakdown, and accepting payments from shoppers. Many vendor find that using Square to enable credit card purchases greatly improves sales.

Vendors can set up between 12 noon and 2 p.m., and are encouraged to park in the High School parking lot (adjacent to HCA's rear door) after 2pm to allow space in the HCA lot for attendees. 
We will provide more information with accepted registrations.
