2016 Holiday Market
On December 9, Community Access held its second annual Holiday Market. The event featured vendors from across Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx selling all types of homemade wares: from paintings and prints to knitted garments and scented balms to holiday cards and cookies.
Several folks were returning for a second year, and we were happy to welcome many new faces too - including from the Art Collective and East Village Access. Community Access staff, participants and other guests showed tremendous support for the vendors, causing several to sell through most - if not all - of their inventory.
Through markets such as these, Community Access aims to recognize the many talents of its participants and to foster their entrepreneurial spirit. It also promotes the idea of conscientious consumption by giving holiday shoppers the opportunity to “shop local” and redistribute their money back into the hands of individuals from their own community.
