Nashville’s Porter Flea was launched in July 2011, with a focus on celebrating modern handmade goods. Now in its sixth year, the juried and curated, semi-annual market is led by Katie Vance and her husband, HollerDesign owner Matt Alexander, who continue an emphasis on the handmade art and design movement, local businesses and community building. Along with connecting hundreds of local/regional makers with tens of thousands of shoppers, Porter Flea has earned consistent press praise, including being named Best Artisan Market by the Nashville Scene in 2012, and appearing in Southern Living, Garden & Gun, Native, Forbes Travel Guide, StyleBlueprint and other publications.

And the theme is…soleil summer 🌞 Our June market nearly always falls on one of the longest days of the year and we thought, isn’t it silly we’ve never had a theme celebrating the sun itself? Think: Warm toned metallics like gold, brass and bronze, maritime patterns and imagery, lemonade, 90s style celestial symbols, ornate sun dials, Tuscan wineries, cuisine from the south of France, folky papier-mâché masks, sun baked terra cotta tiles, old Italian movies set on the coast, maybe even midcentury Miami. Really, go for whatever inspires you! Vendors are never required to participate in the theme— we just think it’s fun to have a jumping off point and then see how different artists interpret it!
Applications to vend on June 12 + 13 are open now through April 5. Please do not submit AI mock-ups of theme goods. A simple one sentence description in the written section will suffice if you don’t have a photo of a completed product!

How and where to find us!

🍭 We are in our regular location at The Fairgrounds: Expo 1 🍭 we are indoors with heat!

Put “320 Wedgewood Ave” into your GPS and please have $10 cash ready to pay the fairgrounds for parking when you arrive- there is NOT adequate parking in the surrounding neighborhood. We’re the only event there this weekend, so parking should be a little less crazy!

Locate your favorite vendors, bathrooms and bars inside the flea by visiting https://www.porterflea.com/map OR! Look for the big merch booth balloon and we will help you find them.

We’re ✨obsessed✨ with the light, shadow, color and attention to detail in new vendor ‘s work 🤌🏼 Haley Elise Hughes explores thoughtful color palettes and sentimental motifs in her paintings, ascribing a deeper meaning to everyday objects rooted in her experience of femininity and interest in still life imagery and folk art. She introduces memory and nostalgia as key players in her narrative works, inviting the viewer to reflect on inherited mythologies and internal dialogues around feminine identity. We’re especially taken with her new batch of ceramic ornaments, collaged with the teeny tiniest giclée prints. Find them alongside her prints and originals at Porter Flea Holiday Market this weekend, December 12 + 13!
