November 16 & 17, 2024
Detroit, Michigan
Ferndale parking structure: Troy Street at Allen
Saturday 10am-7pm & Sunday 11am-5pm
120 Artists
Deadline: September 30, 2024

Application fee: $20/Booth fee starts at $225

This show is being produced by Integrity Shows, the organization that runs Funky Ferndale Art Fair and other events. 

We're thinking it is a edgy version of a Christmas Market. Instead of little huts and bright lights, we have a cozy setting and a more up-to-date feel. We're including art, craft, DIY, cottage foods, authors...We expect that price points under $100 may be the most successful.

While most of Integrity Shows events are focused on the more traditional arts items, this one is open to DIY. For example, candles, silk screened shirts and soaps would not normally be in one of our events, but we are open to having well-crafted items like this.

The event takes place underground in the new Ferndale DOT parking structure. It is sheltered from wind and rain but not heated. It will be chilly but not cold. Ferndale is convenient to Detroit and the suburbs. It's home to many young families as well as young adults. It is the center of gay culture in the area.

Deep underground, beneath the Ferndale parking structure,
(Troy Street at Allen) you will find our secret society of artists, makers, authors & bakers. 
But... Like everything magic, blink and it's gone.

-Integrity Shows-
Fun events. Seriously.
