We will be back bigger than ever for 2024’s Inclusive Winter Market with a two-day event on December 21st (11 AM – 6 PM) and 22nd (12 PM – 5 PM) at The Lied Center of Kansas!
This event is about celebrating makers, artists and small businesses who lean on their craft to support their families and their dreams.
It’s important for me to create an event that is a joy to attend by all walks of life and continues to foster the community we’ve carved out. This event is being run by my business, Merc Tribe Designs, with the support of KQ Design Co. LLC – we will be sharing more information about the event on Facebook and our webpage (launching soon) here shortly!
Last year we filled the Lied Center with over 100 local artists. Many got to experience being a vendor for the first time, this was a dream come true. It was important that we center BIPOC and Queer artists, as these communities often don’t have the same access as other artists and makers. Equality and accessibility have always been my focus – it was time to show Lawrence exactly what that looks like and I am excited to keep the momentum going this year.
We look forward to ending 2024 with the largest and most memorable event of the year in celebrating the diverse beauty and community Lawrence has to offer! Food, Family Fun and holiday cheer for everyone!!
