Makers Mart is a handmade shopping event. It brings together local Sacramento makers and the community, offering a fun shopping experience that showcases a diverse selection of talented artists. People come to Makers Mart to connect with each other and be inspired. Founded in 2009 by Trisha Rhomberg and Whittney Kebschull, the event follows in the footsteps of other notable maker events such as "Sellout Buyout". Sellout Buyout was an event created by Olivia Coelho in the early 2000s.  Trisha participated as a vendor in SoBo with her hand-silkscreen and reconstructed vintage clothing line, Pretty Trashy, and this is where Bows and Arrows was born.  Bows and Arrows hosted many local creative events including the final SoBo and the first Makers Mart, from 2007-2014.   Since then, Makers Mart has become known for activating underutilized spaces and bringing together the Northern California creative community to shop local and support new emerging businesses.  Today,  current team includes: Beth Pellegrini as curator, and Trisha Rhomberg and Nicole Grant Kriege as co-producers, as well as Celisse Muller as web and photo contributor.  Each event brings opportunities or local creative collaboration and we are excited to return after taking 2020-2021 off during the pandemic.
