Our ARTISANS

We are always looking for warm, friendly, and creative artisans who take pride in their craft. Our amazing artists are always reinventing and keeping things fresh.  

We seek skilled artisans of handcrafted goods as well as purveyors of vintage, antique, salvaged, retro, industrial, repurposed, and architectural wares.   We select artisans whose merchandise will sell well at our Upscale Markets.
