Launching in 2026, Handmade Arcade’s Modern Craft Market—supported by Contemporary Craft and Pittsburgh Glass Center—is a juried shopping event celebrating where traditional craftsmanship meets cutting-edge design. This new market will connect shoppers, craft collectors, and retail and industry partners with some of the best contemporary craft makers and artists from around the country.

Shoppers will see many familiar faces, as more than a dozen participating makers have appeared in previous Handmade Arcade shows. Alongside these local favorites, the market will welcome over 100 makers representing twelve states, bringing the very best in contemporary craft right to our city.

Free and pay-what-you-can tickets are available for all to enjoy shopping, hands-on art making, demos, and more. Get your tickets now!
