The Missoula Makers Market

Thoughtful. Curated. Intentional.

What is the Missoula Makers Market

The Missoula Makers Market is a thoughtfully curated and purposefully advertised market of local handmade artists hosted in the summer and winter. The market seeks to showcase existing and emerging talent in the Missoula area in order to create visibility around makers and handmade products. We believe that the entire community benefits when you shop handmade, and so we’re increasing access to handmade products.
