Art Star Craft Bazaar Recap

By: Holly

Philadelphia is a city full of makers. In Northern Liberties, community-minded artists/crafters Megan Brewster and Erin Waxman run Art Star, a boutique / gallery that features handmade works by artists, designers, and crafters.

On June 2nd and 3rd they organized the third year of the Art Star Craft Bazaar. It rained on Saturday, so Art Star is holding a raindate Craft Bazaar sequel on Saturday June 24th, which coincides with the rescheduled Northern Liberties Music Festival. See some of the returning 70+ exhibitors while hearing local bands play all day at the recently rejuevenated park next door.

Ah, that's the Philly I love.


Megan and Erin run Art Star.
