Notes From The Shop - Chapter 1 The "Monthly" Popups

One of the first projects I tackled at the shop in 2025, was to establish a new popup area for emerging brands. In January, I rearranged a few existing fixtures and carved out a dedicated area to host a new artist every month (..well almost monthly 😉)

I no longer do markets events myself and found I missed making those personal connections. This idea had been brewing for more than a year and I am so happy to have made it happen.

Each artist brought something unique and totally different to the shop thereby providing visitors a different experience with each visit.

The goal behind the monthly popups (besides my desire to stay more connected to the artist community) was to position the shop so it is continually evolving. In addition the popups would provide a hands-on learning opportunity for a growing brand in a brick-and-mortar setting.

I believe the project succeeded on both fronts and plan to continue the popups next year.

Applications reopen Feb 2026 🤍
