Tomorrow at 5pm, the first ever Urban Folk Art Show in Indiana kicks off, and the 30 or so vendors who will be in attendance are really hoping it kicks off with a bang and not a whimper.

This weekend marks the kick-off of the craft fair season for many indie artists and crafters in Central Indiana with the return of the Bloomington Handmade Market.

The Bloomington Handmade market is taking place this Saturday, April 2nd, at the Bloomington Convention Center. The event is from 10am to 4pm and is free to attend.

Handmade Promenade melds local Indianapolis businesses with local and independent crafters for regularly occurring events which allow crafters a venue to share their wares with the rest of the city and to bring awareness to local crafters who make their goods by hand, and the locally owned businesses who support them.

Handmade Promenade is organized by, and the blog is maintained by, Martha Latta aka Sunday Afternoon Housewife.
