A I S~nii~//i~OfAppli~aii~: J~/cA~/L/~ ~~ Proposal for the Aspen Saturday Market It is my intention to provide a service, not a product--to use my talents and experience to cull products from emsting stores in Aspen to 1) provide a visual example of my design service wh/le, 2) promoting and highlighting existing businesses mtown that aren't parnc~panng .... m the market by 3 directing those visiting the market to these highlighted stores and, .~ encouraging tourists and locals [o explore other areas of downtown and other businesses. Each week I propose to design a different tableau--rableaus stage-set w/th products chosen from different Aspen shops featuring descriptive information about the objects and where they are available for purchase. Nothing would actually be available for purchase from the booth }ts~lf. rather maps of Aspen would be highlighted with the shops and directions would be g~ven to the specific shops. A three-dimensional shop window display of Aspen if you will. Sample Tableaus Morning in Aspen Scene: An empty bedroom: the bed and furniture available from Gracy's or Suzy's, the bed coverings from Le Tub, Carl's or Frette, on the bedside table a lamp from the Lighting Studio and a copy of the Story. of Aspen from Explore Booksellers. On the breakfast tray from Amen Wardy is a croissant from Paradise Bakery and a cup of coffee from Inld} and next to a pair glasses from the Optical Shop are notecards from'Dear John and an andque pen from Curious George Playtime! Scene: A recently and hurriedly vacated living space: scattered about the floor, propped in the comer and attached to the walls are various pieces of athletic equipment and other toys for all ages--men's and women's bicycles from the Bike Shop, camping gear from Ute Mountaineer, clot. bAng from Polar Revolution, children's toys from the Short Sport and Carl's second floor. This service promotes product variety and quality because it is unique to my tastes and abilities and is not now offered within the mix of the market. It would be diverse by changing weekly although always highlighting products available in Aspen stores. My service would provide a unique and somewhat quirky experience for the person visztmg the market, an oppornmky for those businesses nor in the market to have a chance ro participate and become more supportive of the market concept. It would provide an opportunity for the city to promote and encourage tourists to discover other aspects of Aspen's business corrm)., unity. By highl/ghting what already eMsts, it would encourage tourists and locals aLike to further explore what Aspen has to offer.
