Spring is still a couple months away, but if you need to get out of the house, check out these great art, craft and design events in Cincinnati in February!
Our indie craft show attracts shoppers from the Cincinnati region who believe in the power of handmade and value ethically and locally made goods. We seek support from business owners who share similar beliefs and want to reach out to the creative community. Our show sponsors help sustain and grow our handmade market.
Applications for Crafty Supermarket’s 2013 Spring Show are open from Jan. 15 to Feb. 28! If you'd like to sell your handmade wares at our show, all the info is right here.
Folks keep asking when the next Crafty Supermarket is going to be. And we have an answer: Saturday, April 27, 2013! We’ll be at the Clifton Cultural Arts Center, because we just can’t get enough of it.
We’ll open up applications for crafters in early 2013. If you’re interested in selling your wares at the show, keep following our website, Facebook or Twitter and sign up for our e-newsletter to be notified of when we post the application! And we’ve also got a handy crafter FAQ here.
See y’all in 2013!

Oh, the memories. It was not quite a month ago that we were all together at the CCAC for the holiday show. Do you miss us? Relive the magic with our holiday craft show photo gallery!
Did you shop at our show this weekend? We put together a little 5-minute survey to hear how it was for you! It’s anonymous, short and sweet, and it’ll help us keep Crafty Supermarket awesome. Thank you in advance!
Thanks a million to the more than 2,500 shoppers who came out for Crafty Supermarket yesterday! We know it’s cliched, but seriously — best show ever.
To our 50+ vendors — thanks for being so awesome and being a part of our show! And to the out-of-town vendors, thanks for bringing your crafty selves to Cincinnati!
