2018 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 14th event on June 2nd, 2018, 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 4,000 in November 2016. As customers enter the event, each is offered a program as well as information, business cards, and brochures at our information table.
Since its creation in August 2009, BHM has developed a loyal following. Customers at our events typically spend upwards of $30,000 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.
