The event takes place in the heart of <a href0"https://loving-newyork.com/things-to-do-in-chelsea-nyc/"Chelsea neighborhood which is another great place to visit while in New York City.

The fair started as a project between friends in 2003. Created in Chicago from a desire to create a marketspace that represented the art and aeasthetic of creative individuals. Storefronts and other spaces were not sufficient or good for the spirirt of Doing It Yourself. Etsy did not exist as a hub for online commerce for handmade, crafty items. Therefore, makers (of goods) needed a space where their art could be represented and showcased in an enviroment that represented their spirit. What started as a 1 day festival in Chicago's artistitc Wicker Park area has now exploded. Through the 1 day event, the idea was cemented that other artists wanted new spaces to sell their designs and that the public enjoyed coming to these spaces. Now, the company helps cater the impressive artistic marketplace at Pitchfork Music Festival also held in Chicago as well as other markets in cities like New York.

So make sure to bring your wallet and a spirit of curioisty to this event! There will be artists, DJs, drink stations, workshops, art installations, and more. The event is free, open to public, and appropriate for people of all ages. Featured vendors have all sorts of products from stationary, clothes, ceramics, art pieces, food and drink, vinyl records, and other unique crafts. Don't miss this wonderful New York event that is sure to leave you full of the artistic spirit.
