Vendor Information

Effective February 1, 2011

Art Colony Association is pleased to announce the details of their new concessions program to be managed

by Mélange Catering & Special Events. After reviewing costs associated with our existing food court and

listening to feedback from our patrons, the board and staff selected Houston’s Mélange Catering to respond

to our needs.

Under the management of Mélange’s Greg Bess and Linda West, working with our staff and production team,

Mélange will handle all food festival services, including handling enquiries from interested vendors. Contact

info from vendors who have already contacted either the Art Colony offices or our production manager has

been given to Mélange and they will contact you should they have open booths or specific needs.

We truly value the partnership and friends we have made over the years with our long time vendors and hope

that we can continue to work with many of you under the new food court management.
