Overview
Artists & Fleas is an indoor artisan and vintage market in Williamsburg, showcasing independent designers, makers, and vintage curators in a covered, year-round setting. It offers a more curated, boutique alternative to traditional flea markets.
Highlights
- Independent Designers: Dozens of vendors selling handmade clothing, jewelry, leather goods, and homewares — all produced by the sellers themselves.
- Vintage Curation: Curated vintage vendors specializing in specific eras or styles, from 1970s denim to 1990s streetwear.
- Indoor & Year-Round: Unlike seasonal outdoor markets, Artists & Fleas operates daily regardless of weather.
History
Founded in 2003, Artists & Fleas was one of the original markets that helped define Williamsburg's creative identity. It has since expanded to multiple locations, though the Williamsburg outpost remains the flagship.
Visitor Tips
- Daily Hours: Open daily from 10 AM to 7 PM, making it accessible any day of the week.
- Price Range: Handmade goods are priced accordingly — expect to pay more than at a traditional flea market, but you are buying directly from the creator.
- Duration: 45–60 minutes.
