*Holiday MADE fair // Helena // Missoula // Call for Artists & Non-profits*

The MADE fair is a modern art & handcrafted market featuring local &
regional artists and makers. Our events are a curated collection of over
200 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 business by
providing a place to sell their goods. We provide opportunities to artists
of all levels—the hobbyist to the seasoned professional.
