Produced by #bossbabesATX, craftHER Market is a biannual pop-up space, showcasing the talent of women and nonbinary makers in Texas.
This Fall 2019, the market returns for its first-ever time as a two-day pop-up on October 12 and 13 at Fair Market in Austin, Texas. The market is free and open to the public from 11 AM to 5 PM each day. We’re family-friendly, dog-friendly and human-friendly, too. :) 🎈
— BEHIND CRAFTHER MARKET —
At #bossbabesATX, all of our productions are centered around sustaining communities that care about gender equality and supporting local, creative businesses.
craftHER Market is no different. It's been inspired by a few of our favorite things: pop-up spaces, traditional marketplaces and the people who organize others to gather. In its two years of production, craftHER Market has showcased more than 600 makers and seen 15,000+ attendees and 1,800+ applicants. Opening every Spring and Fall, the two-day community event features entrepreneurial panels, opportunities to support local nonprofits and family-friendly activities. Reflecting a myriad of women and nonbinary artists and creative entrepreneurs across Texas, all 150 of our seasonal exhibitors own their craft, and at least 90% of our booths exhibit wares made by hand. Check out the recap from Spring '19.
