Makers Market – Middlesboro, Kentucky
The Makers Market was a pop-up shop started in a vacant storefront with a Flex-E-Grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission and administered by the Brushy Fork Institute at Berea College. Over a series of several weeks artists were invited to present their work. The market started April 2014 and ran through the end of November 2014. Following that an entrepreneurship training initiative called Selling to the World was launched from this location. The name of the storefront was changed to The Palace, after a saloon that originally was located in this ca. 1890 building.
