About.

The Durham Craft Market (“DCM”) is a membership association with a cooperative, community oriented philosophy. The association is made up of artisans from Durham and the surrounding areas. All artists are juried in and represent a wide variety of high quality, affordable arts and crafts. Everything at the Market is handcrafted by and being sold by the person who made it!  On any given Saturday approximately 20-25 vendors may be present. We are proud to provide a marketplace for local handmade arts and crafts that encourages creativity and design innovation and honors the art of craftsmanship. Meet your local artists and find out how they make their craft.
Our Mission Statement:
The Durham Craft Market was founded to connect the abundant talent of local artisans with the people of the Durham community by promoting the sale and purchase of fine quality handmade local goods. Our mission is to celebrate the uniqueness of craft while providing a local alternative to mass produced items. Our purpose also includes fostering great community relations by welcoming youth and embracing diversity.

Our Artists

Up to 40 juried artists are participating as part of the Durham Craft Market at any given time. They create everything from jewelry to pottery to apparel and accessories or art for your home or lifestyle.

"The market has neat arts and crafts to check out, we bought some fresh veggies at the Farmer's Market, and the girls got to play with a bunch of kids on the playground and run around a big grassy field to burn off some energy. Everything was together in one place, and the whole family was happy!"
