THANK YOU to the local artists, makers, small business owners, and musicians who have been a part of our community and events since 2020. We had literally too much fun putting on micro fests and art markets these last few years!

Thank you to our friends, family, volunteers, supporters, and everyone and anyone who has ever attended one of our events, especially those who support local makers and tip musicians.

Thank you to our board members Victoria, Spencer & Maya for making it possible to band together as an artist-run nonprofit in order to put on these events.

Thank you to the wonderful small business owners who have hosted us and allowed space for makers to sell their wares, support their craft, and pump joy into the community.

Sending beaucoup love and gratitude to this land, its people, its culture, its music, and last, but not least, its art.

BUMMER! 🌧️ Today was supposed to be our final market of the year with , but we had to cancel due to rain and wind forecast this afternoon.

The holiday season is an important time for local makers & small businesses. It really sucks that we had to cancel, especially during what has been an especially difficult year & holiday season for many.

Please consider supporting these talented local makers virtually and checking out their socials for other opportunities to shop their wares in person! Shopping local makes the world go round 🎁
