Do you know where you can buy local, shop small and support handmade all in one day? The Handmade Arcade at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center this Saturday, December 2, 2017! The largest Handmade Arcade to date will host 170+ cutting-edge, craft-based artists, designers and makers selling high-quality, innovative products. Admission is free from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. with an option to by an early birdie pass for exclusive pre-event shopping from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

If you have shopped ’til you dropped, but still have a bit more energy for crafting, head to the Hands-on Handmade activity area! Short and daylong drop-in projects, demonstrations, mini-tutorials, make-and-take activities, and large-scale art installations will keep you busy all day. You don’t need to be an expert crafter to join in on the fun. Organizations including City of Play, the Ellis School, Union Project, BatCat Press, and more will lead activities. There is so much to see in just one day – plan your shopping day with their event map!
