craftHER Market is a biannual market, produced and presented by bbatx. 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. 🎈Learn more at crafthermarket.com.
