Artist Feedback from the 2021 Holiday In-Person Market

This was by far the best in-person market we’ve attended as a maker – both in terms of experience and financially. Handmade Arcade has done a phenomenal job of fostering a welcoming community of makers and customers that made us feel very comfortable to be in, and that was something we truly appreciated. The load-in and load-out experience was far superior to others we’ve experienced. Simply put, for us, the entire event was smooth, stress-free, enjoyable, and profitable. We are sincerely grateful for the clear meticulous care put forth in planning and designing this event, and we are forever thankful for the opportunity to have been a part of it. We hope to see you again next year! — Allan Smith, Fjord and Fable 

This was my first time participating in the holiday market, and it really was something special. From vendors to shoppers, the whole environment was one of creativity and acceptance. People could come as they are and feel welcomed. What a community. I’ve never felt anything like it. — Beth Arnstein, Jewelry by Old Soul

Handmade Arcade was incredible this year. You all did an amazing job. I was super nervous about it – I wasn’t sure if the crowds/enthusiasm would be diminished over the last two years, or if timed ticketing would do anything to change the flow of people coming through. But Saturday was phenomenal. The people, the enthusiasm, and the energy were all overwhelming in the best way possible. It was my biggest day in terms of sales by a long shot. In a tough year with all this uncertainty, you guys made it all happen. Thanks so much! — Dan Grguras, Baxter & the Bear
