| Description: | Bloomington Handmade Market founders Mia Beach, Sally Harless and Nicole Wolfersberger saw the need for an artistic venue in Bloomington that would enable contemporary, emerging artists and crafters to showcase their wares at an affordable price. During the summer of 2009, the Bloomington Handmade Market was born and has been going strong ever since! BHM is a juried show, meaning that participating artists are selected from a pool of applicants and notified a few months in advance of the show. In selecting artists, we look for artists and crafters that are creating quality, unusual work of a type that we don't often see in more traditional craft fairs. Artists come from both Bloomington and around the midwest to participate, and we are always looking for new artists to apply! We now hold BHM once a year, in November. Admission to the show is always free and open to the public. The first BHM, in November of 2009 was held at the John Waldron Center for the Arts. With an unexpectedly high turnout of just over 1000 people, we knew the next one would have to be in a larger venue, so the Spring 2010 Market was held at KRC Banquets and Catering. Our third event was held at the Bloomington Convention Center, with over 1,600 patrons and 46 artists and crafters. With 7 events under our belt, we've continually had over 2,100 people visit our event, spending an estimated $30,000 among our 50 booths! Future BHM events will continue to be held at the Convention Center. | ||
