Handmade Market Description
"The time for holiday shopping is almost here! Why not support local artists and give your friends and family something totally unique and handmade? November 21st, 2024, officially begins 'Handmade Market'! We have plenty of different creative makers for this year that work in a variety of mediums!"
What We're Looking For
Handmade Market is a holiday sale hosted by Union Street Gallery each year for local artists to sell their crafts! We're looking for artists residing within the immediately connecting midwestern states of Illinois (Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Missouri) to setup a table, shelf, or other display to sell their fine craft artworks. An idea of what kinds of work "fine craft" looks like (but is not limited to) is ceramic mugs/dishes, glassware, various forms of reproducible prints, cards, jewelry, pins, accessories, candles, dioramas, figures, and more!
An idea of what we're NOT looking for includes (but is not limited to) food, store-bought items, and not-for-sale (NFS) artworks or wall hangings.
'Handmade Market' is meant to sell works that are handmade by you!
