Behind the Markets

If you’ve ever felt like a market organizer just took your booth fee and ran, or packed a room with five other people selling the exact same thing you do, I see you. Because I’ve been you.

I’m Josiane. I am a long-time maker, a mom of four, and a bit of a hippie at heart. For years, I stood on your side of the vendor table. I always dreamed of organizing my own events, but I held back for a long time because of busy full-time jobs, raising my kids, and the fact that I am a total introvert.

But I couldn’t ignore how corporate and profit-driven the market scene was becoming. Makers deserved better.

So, I finally took the leap and built Art & Souls. We do things differently here:

  • Strict Curation: We don’t flood the room with identical vendors just to fill space. Everyone gets room to actually make a profit.
  • True Vendor Support: We invest in the backend tech, logistics, and marketing so your experience is seamless.
  • Heart over Profit: This is a small, family-backed operation built purely to support the grit and beauty of our local creative community.

Art & Souls is built by a maker, for the makers. Thank you for bringing your craft to our table!
