How it started:
During the first lockdown, we decided to create our own maker market that would allow our staff to sell their handcrafted items while the world was shut down. We started out with 5 staff members as our vendors. After a few successful runs, we decided to make the market a quarterly event.
How it's going:
We now have our Maker Market once per quarter, with over 20 unique, local vendors each time.
Our market is now held at our Perry studio at 1222 Main St.
There is no entrance fee for customers.
We have two large raffle baskets at each market made up of goodies from our vendors.
Customers get a raffle ticket just for stopping by and earn additional tickets for spending with the vendors.
We also have a cause for each market that we take donations for the month leading up to the event day.

When is the market?
We hold a market the first Saturday of March, June, September, and December from 10am-3pm at 1222 Main St., Perry.
how do I become a vendor?
New vendors can email Heather at info@paintwithlushart.com with what name, social media info, and what they sell. Vendors must be a local, small business maker/grower/creator (no MLM or corporation sellers).
Once we have your information, you will be added to our email list. An email is sent out each quarter in preparation for the next market. All vendors on the list are notified at the same time of openings. All spots are first come first serve. To keep it fair, spots cannot be held or reserved in advance. Once you claim your spot, you fill out the market contract and pay your market spot fee via invoice or cash at the studio.
