Vendor booths at the Roberts Westside Makers' Market on Saturday April 27, 2024 | Todd Bannor

The Forest Park Arts Alliance held its third spring Makers’ Market April 27 with two dozen artisans selling their wares at Robert’s Westside.

The Makers’ Market grew out of the Arts Alliance’s Garage Galleries, an annual art walk in August hosted out of local garages. But in comparison, the Makers’ Market is more of a crafts-oriented, homemade shopping experience, occurring once in spring and again toward the end of the year.

“There are a number of artisans that didn’t really fit with Garage Galleries, but they were fabulous makers,” said Bridget Lane, secretary of the Forest Park Arts Alliance, in a previous interview with the Forest Park Review. “This is an opportunity for those people to show off their wares and sometimes finance their hobby a bit.”
