A longtime Floyd tradition, the Floyd Artisan Market brings together local and regional artisans offering handmade arts and crafts in a lively, open-air setting. The weekly Friday evening market creates a space for community members and visitors to connect directly with artists, support local makers, and experience the creativity that defines Floyd.
“The Artisan Market is a celebration of the incredible talent in our region,” said Keela Dooley Marshall, Executive Director of the Floyd Center for the Arts. “It is an opportunity to support artists, strengthen our local economy, and create a welcoming space where people can gather and experience handmade work.”
The market will take place on Friday evenings throughout the season, featuring a rotating group of artists and makers. Visitors can expect a wide variety of handmade goods, including fine art, craft, and unique gifts, making it an ideal destination for both locals and tourists.
The season kickoff on May 8 also offers a perfect opportunity for Mother’s Day weekend shopping, with one-of-a-kind, handmade items available directly from the artists who create them.
