There is a plethora of artist markets these days in our region, but 10 years ago when the Recycled Art Market debuted, it was unique and remains so to this day.
For the
10th Annual Recycled Art Market, those who will venture to Grand Rapids City High Middle School (1720 Plainfield Ave. NE) will have a chance to visit more than 75 artisans whose booths will feature creations that owe a lot to the past.
Why the past?
Well, these unique, one-of-a-kind, and handmade items have one thing in common with the past: they all must use at least 50 percent recycled, upcycled, or repurposed materials in their work to participate in this annual market.
Attendees will have a chance to purchase artwork, clothing, jewelry, and even furniture from artisans who are taking our past and importing forward to the future through their craft.
This event is a fundraiser for City High/Middle School PTSA. By attending and shopping here, your patronage helps raise money for City’s International Baccalaureate programs and support Michigan artisans.
