Summer Craft Fair at the Memphis Taproom

Memphis Taproom yard and sidewalk
NE corner of Memphis and Cumberland, Philadelphia, PA

I'll actually be vending at this little market, which is in it's second year. If you only know me as the coordinator for your favorite Fishtown-area arts festival, know that I am also an artist! At the Handmade Market, I'll be donning a thick book of etchings, woodblocks, and mixed media prints and works on paper, etched vintage stock lockets and other brassy and coppery jewelry from recycled parts, and probably some other lovely small sculptures. If you're ever interested in a studio visit, so we can get more acquainted, just let me know!

It's free to vend at this little fest, and is functioning in a first come first serve fashion. Last year, the weather was a bit iffy, so all the participants fit nicely in their side yard. This year, they'll be expanding out onto the sidewalk, since yard space is extremely limited, and we're hoping for picture-perfect weather. Cumberland Street is also a great place to go yard-sale hunting in the summertime, as it's a wide sidewalk street and there are usually sidewalk sales every weekend! It'll be a destination!

If you haven't been to Memphis Taproom already, it's worth the trip to this side of town! Great food, good folks, and a superb beer list. Plus, on the weekends, they usually tap a firkin; how excellent! Memphis is one of Trenton Avenue Arts Fest's new favorite food vendors, too. This was their second year vending at the fest (and their second year in existence!). Kudos to them.

If you want to inquire about vending, email leigh@memphistaproom.com. I'm not sure how many vendors they're accepting.
