Manayunk Artisan Market Returning for Spring

The open air Philly Market brings dozens of artists to the Venice Island Recreation Park to sell their hand-crafted items once a month.

The Philly Mart, Manayunk’s open air artisan market is gearing up for its first spring season, beginning Saturday, April 18 between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the Venice Island Recreation Park, between the Schuylkill River and the Manayunk Canal.

Original art, photography, housewares, collectibles, jewelry, up-cycled wood, glassware, ceramics, art prints and furniture with an emphasis on handmade will be featured at the monthly Philly Mart. The market is curated, meaning vendors were chosen from a pool of applicants from Reading to Delaware.

The 30-plus participating artists and their talents are extremely varied. From the award-winning textiles of Crash Pad Designs, amazing wood working by Jesse Price of The Quondam Tree, one of a kind re imagined furniture by Salvaged Serendipity and vintage finds, there is a something for everyone.
