Great Osberg Hall at the National Nordic Museum
Fiber + Flair Artisan Marketplace will be held Feb 6 & 7, 2027 (the weekend before Valentine's Day) at the beautiful Great Osberg Hall in the National Nordic Museum in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. The admission is free to the public. And although this is a new event, there is significant buzz around a specialty show featuring handmade wearable art. There will be 40+ juried vendors in a variety of wearable mediums. We will have special features, including giveaways and prize drawings for attendees, art demos, and a wine garden hosted by Martedi Winery of Woodinville. The museum is offering discounted admission to showgoers. The attendees can vote for their favorite art booth, and 2 artists will win a cash prize.
We are looking for community partners to sponsor this event. Sponsors can choose several different levels of participation and benefits all designed to support the event, PNW artists AND help promote local businesses to our patrons.
Joining Fiber + Flair is the Seattle chapter of Dress for Success. Dress for Success furnishes clients with clothing, confidence, career skills, and community that carries forward to achieve her financial independence. We are happy to welcome this esteemed charity as an event partner. At the event there will be an opportunity to donate gently-used clothing to their efforts.
