Echo Park Craft Fair Returns for Spring 2017

Echo Park Craft Fair, is returning for Spring 2017 on Mother's Day weekend on May 13th & 14th with a line up of new artists and returning top designers. The 3 two day art and design event in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Silverlake, was founded by artists Rachel Craven and Beatrice Valenzuela. Echo Park Craft Fair has become a pioneering showcase for the thriving Makers Movement, featuring a meticulous curation of work from some of the finest artists in America.

The Fair celebrates innovators creating in a vast array of mediums - from ceramics to jewelry, handcrafted beauty, clothing design, woodworking to fabric art. Founded at the cusp of what is now a global trend toward the support of the handcrafted and locally sourced, The Echo Park Craft Fair has evolved, over nearly a decade. From a backyard pop-up, to a vast community gathering, the fair draws influencers and tastemakers, as well as national and international retail buyers, magazine editors and stylists - all of whom flock to the market to source products, ignite ideas and fuel creative inspiration.

It is exactly this sense of inclusiveness, plus a relentless eye for quality and detail that sets the Echo Park Craft Fair apart from other markets of its kind. This is an event not merely showcasing and celebrating artists, it's curated and founded by artists as well. Hosting thousands over the course of a highly anticipated 3-day event, the Fair draws style-icons, celebrities and trendsetters - a creative-minded, discerning crowd who cull inspiration from the vendors and vibrant communal atmosphere.

Both Valenzuela and co-founder Rachel Craven are successful designers with established namesake lines. Together, they have spearheaded and nurtured what has now become both an evolving e-commerce business and a one-of-a-kind communal gathering. "As the Fair grows it's important to remember what it's all about - we're women and artists who are supporting each other, validating each other's vision, laughing, creating and struggling together. No matter where it all goes, how much it grows - it has to remain about that sense of community and fostering a greater sense of beauty in the world."

Expanding far beyond from its beginnings as an intimate backyard gathering, The Echo Park Craft Fair now occupies the entirety of the legendary Mack Sennett Studios in Los Angeles, spreading across two massive soundstages and occupying an entire block just outside the historic venue.

The Fair offers Fresh, local, unique, delicious, cosmic, beautifully curated food and drinks from local diverse vendors including Health Ade, Moon Juice, Canyon Coffee, Leaves and Flowers, Alejandra Blue Corn Quesadillas, SOO N, Gorumando, Lori, Morning Glory Confections, Solstice Canyon, Sun Potion, and Todo Verde.
