Fueling Pittsburgh’s Creative Future

Your gift empowers local makers, fuels community connection, and keeps Pittsburgh’s creative scene thriving — one stitch, sketch, and spark at a time.

For over 20 years, Handmade Arcade has been the place where artists, entrepreneurs, and curious creatives come together to share their craft with the world.

From humble beginnings (seven women and a dining room table!) to one of the largest independent craft markets in the region, we’ve:

  • Supported over 3,000 makers

  • Welcomed more than 215,000 shoppers

  • Facilitated $4M+ in reported maker sales

  • Offered free and low-cost maker programs year-round

None of this happens without people like YOU!

Make a One-Time Donation

Quick. Easy. Impactful.
Your one-time gift goes directly toward keeping our events accessible, our makers supported, and our programs running strong.

From helping a new maker sell out of products at their first market, to giving a high school artist their first taste of entrepreneurship — every donation sparks something real.
