The Art Star Craft Bazaar is an award winning retail art/craft show that is organized and juried by Art Star.
Art Star has chosen a line-up of over 80 of the best art and craft vendors from the region and beyond who will be selling items perfect for holiday gift giving. Come get a jump start on your shopping and support our local craft community!. The show will feature a thoughtfully curated mix of handmade goods by returning Art Star favorites and over 20 fresh, new vendors. Jewelry, pottery, housewares, clothing, men’s and women’s accessories, art, prints, stained glass, stationary, bath and body products, woodworking, miniatures, puzzles, and more will be available.
Art Star Co-Owner, Megan Brewster, states, “Now, more than ever, it is so important to support small businesses and independent artists. Not only will you find truly unique items, but you meet the maker face to face and keep our local economy buzzing!”
Full Vendor Line-Up can be found HERE
Laser Philly and Project Joy will be hosting Make + Take stations where DIY lovers of all ages can come and make something to take home with them for an affordable fee. Printadelphia will be joining us for a printing Make & Take as well, but on Saturday only.
Beloved Fishtown based restaurant, Cedar Point will be serving up coffee, lunch items, snacks, and sweets, to feed our hungry crowds and there will also be a full cash bar for customers to sip a drink while they shop.
We will be giving away 75 Free event totes at 11am and again at 3pm each day. Make sure to also visit the Free Raffle table for your chance to win one of many handmade goods donated by a participating vendor. Fabiola Lara will be setting up her viral mini print machine, complete with a new collectible selection of 7 prints. You don’t know which one you’ll get, which is part of the fun. 4 quarters gets you one mini print. High five and get a photo with our mascot, the Art Star Unicorn, who will be making some appearances throughout the show. We will be creating a fun holiday themed backdrop for selfies, complete with funny props. Arthur Star, the unicorn, will gladly photo bomb your pics at select times throughout the day.
About the Event Organizers:
Art Star, owned by Megan Brewster and Erin Waxman, represents working studio artists and crafters from the Philadelphia area and beyond. All items are handcrafted within the US by individual artists or small production studios. We have a retail shop at the Philadelphia Visitor Center in Old City. We stock a curated selection of handmade goods and gifts. You can find items like cards, baby goods, jewelry, art prints, pottery, candles, accessories, clothing, and so much more. You can also find a selection of our goods at the Visitor Center outposts at Love Park, the Rocky Gift Shop, Pride, and City Hall. In addition to our retail shops, we host a number of events throughout the year; the largest and longest running being our Spring Art Star Craft Bazaar. Additionally, we host an annual Holiday Art Star Craft Bazaar and small shows called Art Star Pop Up Markets held at 2nd Street Festival, and other locations throughout the city.
Our goal is to offer customers a wide range of affordable and quality handmade goods and to, in turn, support and maintain a thriving handmade community.
