The Mini Market debuted in 2023 , featuring 40 handmade artists in a more intimate venue. In 2024, The Mini Market was held at the Brookfield Conference Center and featured 55 handmade artists. There is no planned Mini Market for 2026.
Make Art MKE at Mount Mary University was added to our calendar in 2023, organized by Mike Bate/Lit MKE, with artists coordinated by re:Craft and Relic.
