Be a presenter at the 2017 Northwest Tarot Symposium! Workshops are held Friday afternoon, and all day Saturday and Sunday. We are currently accepting presentation proposals. There are three tracks for the symposium and we are looking for topics that fit into each of these: Novice Track, Adept Track, Master Track.
Apply to Vend
We’re seeking vendors for the 2017 tarot conference. We’re especially looking for tarot deck creators, divination readers, deck and book publishers, vendors of tarot accessories, divination-related items and art, as well as journals, crystals, bath and body, costuming, gifts, body workers, fragrance/perfumes, and body-mind-spirit supplies. If you’re not sure it your business fits our conference, please contact us and let’s chat about it.
Art Sales & Gallery
Art is a huge part of tarot! So we decided to make it a prominent part of this symposium. We’re looking for tarot, oracle, Lenormand, and divination / spiritual inspired art.
Our art gallery can accommodate up to 30 panels of artwork and we have four tables of print sales space. Submitted artwork is no longer juried, but is subject to approval by the event coordinators.
Welcome
