Anne Marie Beard, co-owner of The Bearded Ladies Present and designer of the local handbag company *annemarie*, says, “As a business woman and artist it is important for me to support and lend exposure to independent designers, crafters, and other fine artists in the Austin Area. Vendors at The Bearded Ladies Present: Shop Austin will benefit from more than just a booth; we are focused on promoting the individual vendor as never before. It is our goal to introduce all of Austin to our amazing vendors and to make available for purchase their unique and wonderful products! We want everyone at the event to take away a great experience and feel like they are a part of Austin's Creative Community.
