Case for Making opened in 2014 as a storefront offering creative supplies encouraging process-focused exploration. They began making their own products and hosting workshops, all with the intention of helping people refind their creativity through their curiosity. We want to reclaim the fact that we are all artists. In our 10th year in business we're excited to host this platform, CfM Art Marketplace as a way for all of us to sell our work directly to people who are looking for it. To equalize and highlight the fact that we are all artists, and when we sell a piece to someone else who will love it and live with it, it might provide the bit of validation for ourselves to see and believe it and live it, too!
