Walk the market and then explore participating galleries, studios, shops, bars, and restaurants. The vendors at the Makers Market include HDIF, Loom Woven Rugs, HopArt, Aurora Grace, Terra Luna Herbals, Fifth of a Farm Creations, Working Class Coffee, Sundry Mornings, Art By Alicia, Philly Candles LLC, Sugar Rush, Eleganza, Dr. Brownies, The Cozy Club, Jul the Jeweler, and Aura Soap. Join us in Old City for games, fun, raffles, photo walls, and shopping for specialty foods, accessories, apparel, jewelry, home goods, skincare, candles and more.
Community College of Philadelphia’s Fashion Merchandising and Marketing Program features an integrated, career-focused curriculum that explores the retail industry, functionality, customer needs and preferences, demographics, convenience, quality, and performance.
