Support debuting local 2SLGBTQIA+ and BIPOC artisans and makers in Western MA

We are a pop-up market centering emerging 2SLGBTQIA+ and BIPOC artisans and makers exploring their craft in Western MA. We believe there is always room for more spaces to support the financial success of makers in our community. Our goal is to provide the additional support we’ve been looking for in preparing for a craft or maker market as a newbie.

We’re gathering to celebrate the cookbook launch of Corrie-Locke Hardy of The Tiny Activist! Browse nearly two dozen Western Mass 2SLGBTQIA+ and BIPOC makers, artists, and community sponsors.

Important Event Info

PARKING
Thankfully, street and lot parking in Florence is free, but we do encourage carpooling whenever possible. The Civic Center has a medium-sized lot and it will be cleared for attendees. There are PVTA bus stops very close: Stop 204 - Meadow/Main (R42/R44) and Stop 203 - Main/Maple (R44).

FOOD
We’re encouraging you to arrive hungry! We’re excited to welcome back the amazing Ginger Love Cafe, who will offer delicious Filipino street food in the parking lot.

Accessibility &
Community Care

MASKING
K95 masks (or better) are required inside; masking outside is highly encouraged as a method of radical community care. We will have a limited number of masks on hand! If it’s raining, masks will also be required under the large outdoor tent.

ENVIRONMENT
There is a mid-size paved parking lot, which will be partially occupied by a food truck and a wheelchair-accessible porta-potty. The indoor space has ramp access with a wraparound porch. Indoors may be loud - windows will be open as weather permits. The outdoor space is a grass lawn that is fairly flat with some tree roots.
