Return of MADE fair showcasing local artisans set for May
The Bozeman Spring MADE fair has been announced for early next month, with event organizers excited to connect artists with the Gallatin Valley community once again. The event will take place at Brick Breeden Fieldhouse on Saturday and Sunday, May 7th and 8th. Regular hours are 10am–4pm. Shop and discover a curated collection of 190+ local and regional artists. You can expect to see everything from affordable, functional works of art to fine heirloom pieces at the show.
Though entry and parking are free to attendees, those interested in a head start on shopping can purchase a Friday VIP Pass for a 2-hour shopping window from 7–9pm the night before the event opens to the public. Beat the crowds with a $5 Early Bird Pass to gain entry from 9–10am. All ticket proceeds will go to a Gallatin County non-profit. Attendees: please bring a non-perishable food item to help support the Gallatin Valley Food Bank.

The MADE fair is a modern art and handcrafted market featuring local and regional artists and makers. Events are a curated collection of skilled artisans as well as a handful of non-profits. The MADE fair’s mission is to increase awareness of handmade goods as an alternative to mass-produced items and support local and regional small craft businesses by providing a place to sell their goods.
handMADE Montana provides opportunities to artists of all levels, from the hobbyist to the seasoned professional. It was recently given the Retailer of the Year Award by the Made in Montana program. •
