ATTENTION VENDORS:

It has come to our attention that someone, using the name Mabel Brian, is currently sending out emails to people asking if they would like to purchase booth rentals for our 4th of July Forge Festival of Arts and Crafts. We DO NOT use outside individuals to book rentals for any of our events; anyone claiming to be is simply trying to steal your money. These emails are a scam and fraudulent. We encourage people to disregard them entirely.

This scam was brought to our attention by someone who has never had a booth at a View event, so we currently do not know the scope of this scam or who is being targeted. All legitimate communications from View will always be from someone with a genuine viewarts email address.

If you have received one of these emails, we ask that you fill out a quick survey to help us try to figure out who is being targeted. Please find the survey here https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HCJJV8B

If anyone is interested in booth rentals for any applicable event, the safest approach will always be to find the event on our website, ViewArts.org, and follow the application instructions, contact a team member directly, or contact us through our website.

If you have sent money to anyone besides View Arts Center, please let us know.
