ArtsXchange Outdoor Marketplace

Starting in fall 2020

The Warehouse Arts District Association is proud to announce a new ArtsXchange Outdoor Marketplace. We hope to kick off this outdoor market in the fall of 2020 with precautions in place related to COVID 19 that will allow us to safely bring our community together to celebrate local artists and their works. We will invite members of the Warehouse Arts District Association who make products by hand to submit entries indicating their desire to pitch a tent and join us on the ArtsXchange compound at 515 22nd St. South for Second Saturday Art Walks from 5-9pm. The application form for vendor spaces will open on 15th of each month for the next month, and spaces are limited. Applications will be accepted until spots are filled. Application form is here. Stay tuned for more information.
