ABOUT CR38TED

We believe in the power of handmade, the magic of local, and the importance of community connection.

OUR MISSION

CR38TED was born from a simple idea: local artists deserve beautiful spaces to share their work, and communities deserve access to unique, handcrafted goods.

Based in Denver, Colorado, we organize Artisan Market events that bring together talented artists, makers, and creators with people who appreciate the value of buying local and supporting small businesses.

Every event we host is carefully curated to ensure a diverse mix of art forms, from ceramics and jewelry to paintings and textiles. We partner with amazing venues across the Denver metro area to create memorable experiences for both artists and attendees.

We've also expanded beyond markets with hands-on workshops led by local artists. These small-group sessions let anyone roll up their sleeves, learn a new craft, and leave with something they made themselves — another way we help our creative community grow.
