— MEET THE PRODUCERS —
Produced by bbatx, craftHER Market is a biannual pop-up space, showcasing the talent of women and nonbinary makers in Texas. At bbatx, all of our programs 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 three years of existence, craftHER Market has showcased more than 600 makers and seen 20,000+ attendees and 2,000+ 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.
This year's market is supported in part by our partners at Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Fair Market. This year's in-kind contributors and supportive brands include the Austin Chronicle.
