About
Market Obscura
is a specialty pop-up market featuring an eclectic mix of local artisans from Portland and the Pacific Northwest.
Mission
Our focus is to showcase the best wares from occult, sci-fi, goth, mystical, and nature inspired aesthetics and growing the creepy community.
We offer a reduced booth fee to our vendors that is solely used to promote and run the market to offer them the most opportunity to make money.
The market is run by The Coven of Curiosity and other amazing volunteers and relies on vendor fees or sponsorships to run our market.
VENUE PARTNERS
Our venue partners generously provide their space and resources to host our markets.
Thanks to White Owl Social Club for providing their beautiful bar and tents for our November 2018 and March 2019 events.
We're excited to announce our new partnership with The Lovecraft Bar! We be hosted our first mini-market there on May 18th.
We are excited to partner with Vitalidad Movement Arts Center for our November 2019 Holiday Market. They provided a beautiful, accommodating space for all and we cannot wait to return in 2020.
