Queer Makers’ Market
The Queer Makers' Market is a monthly market and vibrant community of local makers who identify as lgbtqia+, founded in 2021.
The Queer Makers' Market is, first and foremost, a gathering of people often frustrated, denied, or at odds with traditional modes of building community and wealth. It is a colorful and heartbreakingly talented group of people for whom life is often a series of arguments about why they should continue to exist.
