Artists & Fleas at Chelsea Market
On March 1st, 2012, Artists & Fleas returns to Chelsea Market in Manhattan for a Spring season residence through the end of May.
Artists & Fleas at Chelsea Market promises to be a brand new experience in alternative retail – a curated marketplace of designers, artists and vintage dealers. Part designer showcase, part maker’s market, this pop-up will host over 30 independent creators and sellers of jewelry, art, design, home accessories, vintage clothing, and all things indie, funky, Brooklyn and bespoke from both Artists & Fleas’ 9 years in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and the larger creative community. In addition, the market will play host to an eclectic mix of weekly programming led by independent designers and artists open to the public.
Open 7 days a week from 10:30AM-7PM. Previews Thursday, March 1st at 88 Tenth Avenue (Tenth Avenue & 15th Street).
Designers scheduled to participate beginning March 1st include:
Brooklyn-based jewelry and accessories designer FSMNYC aggressively pushes the fashion wearable envelope with looks and styles that shape, define and sing indie cred for the fashion-forward.
Paste is designer Jason Laurits’s offbeat and quirky graphics brought to life on silkscreened tees, swim trunks, and limited-edition lithograph prints.
