our FAVORITE OUTDOOR EVENT AT PINK CROW collective!

AFTER A HUGE SUCCESS WITH OUR FIRST MODERN MARKET LAST FALL, WE ARE SO EXCITED TO HOST OUR SECOND OUTDOOR EVENT JUNE 9TH 2024.

The Modern Market is an alternative culture marketplace for all generations and walks of life to enjoy.

artisans, makers, and resellers are welcomed here to promote their goods, to meet & network with other likeminded PEOPLE, and to form relationships with their customers and community face-to-face.

aT PINK CROW cOLLECTIVE, We are passionate about promoting our community of maine makers & vendors; These ARE individuals THAT devote endless hours, energy, and talent into perfecting their craft and deserve recognition for the work they produce.

OUR GOAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO curaTE a space for ARTISANS to share their goods with the community and THEIR peers. FOR TWO YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CREATE SUCH A SPACE WITHIN OUR STORE FRONT TO DO SO, AND WE DECIDED THAT IT WAS TIME TO TAKE ON ANOTHER ADVENTURE THAT ALLOWS US TO KEEP GROWING OUR COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS OFFERS EVEN MORE MAINE BASED MAKERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THE SAME.
