2022 Sponsors


Be a sponsor for the Bloomington Handmade Market!

By becoming a sponsor of the Bloomington Handmade Market, you can help support local arts in your community and reach thousands of supporters of local, independent businesses. 

The Bloomington Handmade Market, now hosting its 23rd (including two online Covid events) event on November 12/13, 2022, brings together thousands of artists, crafters, designers, and other creative people. Artists and patrons come from all over Indiana, as well as Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee to participate in our event! With each event we draw a larger crowd and exceeded 6,000 in November 2021. 

Since its creation in August 2009,  BHM has developed a loyal following. Customers at our events typically spend upwards of $80,000 over the course of the day. Before and after the event, visitors typically walk around Bloomington to see the sights, eat, enjoy coffee, and visit other local shops. Help us help you by sponsoring BHM and reaching out to our customers!

We offer many tiers of sponsorship to work with any budget.  Scroll down to see our sponsorship tiers, or feel free to contact us if you'd like a personalized sponsorship package. Send an email to bloomingtonhandmademarket@gmail.com for questions or if you're ready to become a sponsor!
