Thank you to everyone who helped make the first We Made This Art Fair such a meaningful weekend!

Over 65 artists filled The Machine Shop with creativity, conversation, and connection as we celebrated the creative power of women during Women’s History Month.

The energy in the room was something special. It felt so good to be together celebrating women, artists and community.

We are grateful to the artists who shared their work and to the thousands of people who came out to support independent artists and small creative businesses.

Thank you for being part of it.
We can’t wait to do it again next year!

2025 was our biggest year yet, and we're feeling deeply grateful.

From awards and record-breaking crowds, to launching a brand new event and welcoming new leaders to the Homespun team, this year reminded us again and again why we do this work.

Hundreds of thousands of you showed up.
463 unique artists shared their work.
And together, artists earned an estimated $3.5 million through Homespun Events.

What matters most to us, though, is the trust behind those numbers. The artists who bring their work and their businesses to our events. The guests who come ready to discover, connect, and support creative work. And the staff who pour so much care into every detail behind the scenes.

Thank you for being part of the Homespun community. We're carrying everything we learned in 2025 forward as we build new events, deepen our support for artists, and create even more spaces for art, community, and connection. We can't wait to see you in 2026.
