QUEER MAKER'S MARKET

The goal of the QMM is to highlight the creativity of Queer makers in our community, bring humans together to celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit, and support local businesses during trying economic times.

 

Inner Child Studio is a non-profit organization and all of your booth rental fees are direct donations to our organization.

In addition to vendors there will be 

Entertainment and food

But wait!? What the heck do you mean by "Queer"?

It means weird, different, radical, feminist, alternative, sex-positive, wacky, anarchist....

What you must bring:

  • Tables and Displays for some booths;
