We are looking for vendors with unique, fun, easy to grab items that display the rich and vast talents of both Workman Arts members and the larger Mad community. This event will take place on Saturday, November 1st at the Tranzac Club as part of our #RWMFEST Closing Night Celebration, and will feature a vibrant group of vendors alongside a diverse set of live performances taking place in the Main Hall.
Rendezvous with Madness is hosting a special fundraising event on World Mental Health Day.
Alongside a screening will be a ticketed reception with entertainment, catering, non-alcoholic drinks and mocktails, and a silent auction.
To both showcase our Artists and raise funds for next year’s festival, we are looking for Art Donations—scultures, painting, photography, etc. As a thank you for your contribution, selected artists will be invited to the reception to mix and mingle with potential buyers.
