What makes us unique – We only select 2-3 from each category to keep our focus on providing our shoppers variety and unique finds. We also have over half of our vendors as return artisans year after year because they love our market, and many exciting new artisans eager to share their creations. Categories include antiques, primitives, up-cycled and repurposed creations, garden art, mosaics, pottery, wood, glass art, metal, fibers, photography, jewelry, furniture, boutique clothing for adults and children, pet products, vegetable or flower farmers, food vendors, musicians, and fine artists of all kinds.

2022 Market a HUGE Success!

The 7th annual Red Geranium Artisan Market hosted one of our largest crowds of shoppers ever. The 50 artisan booths, 2 food vendors, live music, church bake sale and wonderful volunteers all contributed to a great day. Mother nature decided to drop a bomb on us 45 minutes before the market was scheduled to conclude, but everyone just packed up and ran into the church to truly ride the storm out. Molly Jones even brought her harp inside and entertained everyone until we could go back outside and put everything away. We hope to see everyone (except that pop-up rain storm) next year on Saturday, August 21 from 9-3 for the 8th annual Red Geranium Artisan Market.

Applications will open the first week of January 2023. Be sure to check the Red Geranium Artisan Market Facebook page for information on how to apply online or have an application emailed to you. We only accept 50 artisans and look for high quality, one-of-a-kind arts and crafts to provide the best shopping experience for our guests. No direct sales or mass produced vendors. Always looking ahead for additional food vendors and musicians so please contact us if interested.

How about those musicians?

We are so excited to offer some great local talent while you shop our 7th annual Red Geranium Artisan Market. Bring a chair and enjoy the entertainment with a taco from Samanos food truck, a Stacco House by Mammamia Gelato or a home-made bake sale item from the ladies of our church.

The price range is $35 to $60. My faith, and beautiful things, have inspired me to create wreaths after 30 years of teaching elementary school.”

5. A return artisan to the 7^th annual Red Geranium Artisan Market is Tina Smith, creator of Fashion Flips; Modern headbands with a Twist.  From Tina, “I ‘m a mom of three and have a background in design and product development. My business, Fashion Flips, is my creative outlet and provides a solution to the “headband headache” that has plagued girls for generations. (can’t we be cute and comfortable?!) I’ve been sewing these headbands for over 8 years; my customers love the comfort of them (they don’t squeeze your brain). And I love matching up fabrics to create hundreds of different combos, so shoppers are sure to find their favorites. Best of all, Fashion Flips are reversible! They have a unique, but simple way of “twisting” so you get two looks in one. I make Fashion Flips in three widths: Skinny Mini, Original, and Big Mama; so you’re sure to find the fit and style that’s perfect for you.
