Shop small + support local!
Hover Craft is produced to support established and emerging artists, crafters, designers, and makers by providing an impermanent brick-and-mortar space to showcase the talent and creativity that exists within our own communities.
By shopping small and keeping money in the local community, attendees to this event make small gestures that amount to radical action in order for makers to continue diverse and eclectic artistic endeavors which then strengthen our communities.
Join us!
