Join us in dreaming big!

HYPHAE: Makers Market
& Skills Studio

Building on the success of Yet Another Queer Pop-Up Market, we’re dreaming big! HYPHAE: Makers Market & Skills Studio will be the first 2SLGBTQIA+ and BIPOC-centered creative retail and workshop space in Western Massachusetts.

Our goal is to be a “third space” for authentic, intersectional community-building and connection while helping to cultivate financial success for creatives within our community:

• A consignment-based retail store featuring high-quality, handmade products at a variety of price points. This supports locally-based financial success for our makers.

• Skill-based creative workshops that provide financially and physically accessible space to expand skill-based offerings in the region that are led by/created for the 2SLGBTQIA+ and BIPOC community.

• Business-building offerings for creatives, with an inclusive and welcoming set of services geared toward individuals who are newer to building a creative business and who may feel overwhelmed by larger organizations.

• Public-facing special events for the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC community and our allies to gather.

• Workshop rental space per hour for mission/vision-aligned businesses and individuals to host their own meetings and workshops at an accessible rate.
