Makers Market Preview Event

Makers Market is a new open air marketplace featuring a curated selection of skillfully crafted products. The Market will be presented in a series of large tents within Socrates Sculpture Park's spring exhibition, "State Fair."

Approximately 30 makers, from New York, California, Rhode Island, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Utah, Connecticut, Oregon, and New Hampshire, will be selling a broad range of products including textiles, ceramics, turned wood bowls, glassware, bicycles, jewelry, furniture, and motorcycles, as well as one of a kind and small production objects. At this preview event you'll be among the first to shop the Makers Market. There will cocktails by St. Germain and hors d'oeuvres on the waterfront as the sun sets over the Manhattan skyline.

Long Island City's rich history of industry and manufacturing, and its current status as one of the city's most remarkable cultural communities, will provide the perfect context for the Market, which focuses on design excellence, technical expertise, and quality of materials. Socrates Sculpture Park is built on a mission of creative access and, through its outdoor exhibitions and artist residency program, encourages strong interaction between art, artists and the general public. The Park site - a built green environment with spectacular views of the river and the Manhattan skyline - will offer a unique forum to showcase the distinctive community of artisans that are participating in Makers Market.
