ABOUT US
Connecting Cleveland's creative community through markets, events, and authentic experiences.
Our Story
Founded in 2018, our agency was created with a simple mission: to showcase the incredible talent and creativity that thrives in Cleveland. What began as a small pop-up market with just 25 vendors has grown into a vibrant platform connecting makers, artists, and small businesses with the community.
We believe in the power of authentic connection. In a world dominated by mass production and online shopping, we create spaces where people can meet the faces behind the products they love, hear their stories, and witness their craft firsthand.
Our markets and events celebrate the unique character of Cleveland's neighborhoods, from the historic architecture of Ohio City to the lakefront beauty of Edgewater Park. Each location is carefully chosen to create a meaningful experience that honors our city's past while looking toward its future.
