Providence Artisans Market Returns

Peruse a unique selection at the seasonal outdoor emporium

Posted

Between the scrumptious array of local culinary treats and tastings, to the uncommon jewelry and glassware, the Providence Artisans Market has a little something for everyone.

Every Saturday from now until October, this crafty bazaar offers a diverse selection of clothing, furniture, mixed media and much more. This is a great place to stock up on unique gifts, or simply meander around with the family in Lippitt Park. There will be a smorgasbord of eccentric creations, like the upcycled skateboard key chains by Esteve Duque or Eric Sturtevant’s collection of whimsical children’s illustrations. This artisanal haven also sports hundreds of vibrant paintings and prismatic glassware like the dramatic perfume bottles made by Riker Art Glass.

As vendors may apply for different sections of the season, it’s worth returning to this marketplace to take a second look. The originator and curator of the Providence Artisans Market, Bryce Studio has also teamed up with WaterFire Providence to host the WaterFire Arts Festival Plaza. On June 14 and 28, the plaza will offer an abridged version of the enormous artisanal emporium during the illumination celebration. It will accompany WaterFire’s entire 2014 season, so check online for their summer schedule. Lippitt Memorial Park, 1015 Hope Street, Providence. Saturday 10am-2pm, rain or shine. June 1-30. Free.
