About the BIPOC Traveling Art Bazaar

  • We seek to create a pop-up market space that supports local BIPOC artists by encouraging community support among vendors, changing the narrative of the “starving artist” and hyper independence within the art scene.

    Inspired by the symbiotic relationships between all living things, we want to help artistic individuals cross pollenate with others and build stronger connections and relationships within the arts.

  • Markets often require large commitment, can also be inaccessible to most due to high costs, and often become difficult for BIPOC vendors to take part. Markets can also be difficult or intimidating to younger artists, or artists looking to dip their toes in a market scene.

    By encouraging shared booth space, and maintaining free or low-cost vendor fees, we hope to foster a space that gives easier, inclusive access to BIPOC artists of all ages.

    By collaborating with venues and other BIPOC organizations throughout Western North Carolina, we hope to build and form a stronger community that helps us all support one another while spreading art & joy throughout a variety of audiences.

    This traveling trope community of artists and guest artists plans to grow in time over a series of pop-up events, and plans to include youth booth/s to further help encourage and support younger and emerging artists.

  • Application deadline is November 24th.

    All applicants will be notified by November 26th

    While we wish we could include everyone who applies, this venue has very limited space.

    Booth fees at this venue are $20 and due by Nov 29 to ensure your space
