Our Story
Handmade Arcade was founded in 2004 by a group of seven crafty women who envisioned a vibrant DIY and indie craft fair. The inaugural market featured 30 talented makers and attracted over 1,000 enthusiastic shoppers. Since then, Handmade Arcade has blossomed into a significant platform for local artisans, receiving 501(c)(3) nonprofit status in 2017 and hosting multiple markets each year.
