A colorful illustrated poster for the "Vault Art Car Boot Fair." Large pink and white bubble letters read "Vault Art Car Boot Fair" emerging from a cartoon car's open boot, with white smoke forming a thought cloud. Below, the address "39 Corporation Street" and date "Sunday 22 June, 12 - 5 PM" are displayed in pink and white text. The background is sky blue with simple line-drawn buildings and a car at the bottom. A photo-based poster for the "Vault Art Car Boot Fair" showing a bustling outdoor market. People with whimsical animal and object heads (a bird, teddy bear, CRT monitors) browse items from the open boots of cars. The background features a modern blue-glass building marked with a yellow "39." The event details are written in bold white text at the bottom: "Sunday 22nd June, 12–5PM, 39 Corporation Street." The sky is clear and blue.

New sign! By the talented @szuszusignco.bsky.social
The image shows a storefront sign with the word “VAULT” in bold, three-dimensional green lettering on a bright green background. The sign is mounted on a blue section of the building’s facade. Below the sign, there are large glass windows, one of which has a poster advertising an “Introduction to Printmaking” class featuring an illustrated face. The upper portion of the building has large windows reflecting the sky. The overall appearance suggests that “VAULT” may be an art space, gallery, or creative venue. The image shows a multi-story modern building with a blue and green storefront sign that reads “VAULT” in bold, three-dimensional green letters on a bright green background. The sign is mounted on a blue section of the facade. Below the sign, there are large glass windows with various posters, including one for an “Introduction to Printmaking” class featuring an illustrated face. The perspective is angled upwards, emphasizing the height of the building against a clear blue sky. Some upper-floor windows reflect sunlight, and there are graffiti-like markings visible in one of the windows.

🧵 It's possible that entry to the church will be around
at the side door due to wind.
Couple of extra things to note for today-
Please support us by buying a raffle ticket. This is how we make money at the market and that goes directly into paying bills and our ongoing public events programming.
