Call for Maine Makers at Taproot Market!

Call for Maine Makers at Taproot Market!

We love hosting local makers here at Taproot Market (in Portland, Maine) and are beginning to schedule our fall Saturday pop-ups!

We are seeking local makers whose process and goods complement and align with the aesthetic and ethos of our market and magazine ~ products surrounding themes of food, farm, craft, and community, thoughtfully and sustainably made. Past pop-ups have included jewelry, art prints, patches, stickers, and coffee! We love hosting contributors to the magazine and folks whose work is part of our online goods collection to showcase more of what they do, and makers who are new to the Taproot community. To learn more about our values, style, and areas of focus, take a look at the goods we sell in our collection or a copy of the magazine.

Think you'd be a good fit?
Send us an email at market@taprootmag.com with a description of your work and 5-7 images or a link to some samples on your website and/or social media page. We can’t wait to hear from you! 

Please note: we receive many submissions and inquiries and cannot host everyone who expresses interest. We are always pleased to be introduced to new makers and keep all submissions on file should there be future availability or opportunities. Thanks for your interest!

About Maine Needs:
MAINE NEEDS is a grassroots organization, powered by a growing collective of volunteers.

They strive to help individuals and families in Maine meet their basic, material needs by providing donated clothing, hygiene products, household items, and other necessities. They focus their work on those starting life over from scratch: domestic abuse survivors, asylum seekers and those facing financial hardships. They partner with schools, caseworkers, nurses and nonprofits to provide these material resources. As of October 2020, they became a 501c3 and opened a free community donation center in Portland Maine. See more, donate directly, or get involve at: maineneeds.org/about.

Does your REFRESH need a refresh?

Does your REFRESH need a refresh?

We’d like to think that after 49 issues, we’ve encountered all the surprises that making a magazine can bring. But how boring would life be without surprises – good and bad! We’ve recently discovered that some copies our latest issue, REFRESH, are arriving to you with a weak binding and loose pages. We are working with our printer to sort out what went wrong on press, as this hasn’t happened before.
