Bloomington Handmade Market takes place twice a year - once in June, and once in November. Bloomington Handmade Market founders Mia Beach, Sally Harless and Nicole Wolfersberger saw the need for an artistic venue in Bloomington that would enable contemporary, emerging artists and crafters to showcase their wares at an affordable price.  During the summer of 2009, the Bloomington Handmade Market was born and has been going strong ever since!

BHM is a bi-annual juried show, meaning that participating artists are selected from a pool of applicants.  In selecting artists, we look for artists and crafters that are creating quality, unusual work of a type that we don't often see in more traditional craft fairs. Artists come from both Bloomington and around the Midwest to participate.
