What the Greenmarket does for locally-grown food products, the Artisan Market does for local art and design. Since its debut 12 years ago the Artisan Market has provided a much-needed venue for local artists and designers to show and sell their wares in an easily accessible and popular location. The Market creates a veritable outdoor sidewalk gallery showing a wide range of functional and collectible art and design items. Artists personally display and sell only their own original creations. Added to the benefit of purchasing a well crafted original, one also has the opportunity to talk to the artist about how their piece was made. You’ll find no fleas on us. Only independent design, crafts and fine arts are presented for sale at Artisan-Market, our weekly fundraiser for the Fort Greene Park Conservancy. Artisan-Market is located adjacent to the year-round Fort Greene GreenMarket on the DeKalb Avenue side of Fort Greene Park. Our Spring/Summer 2014 schedule is May 10th thru July 26th and the Fall 2014 schedule is September 6th thru November 8th. Hope to see you there. In Martha Stewart’s words, Artisans Market: “It’s a good thing.”
