Uptown Brewing Company is a craft brewery located in Downtown Greenville, NC, and on Sunday July 14, they hosted their first art market.
The Uptown Art Market is an event presented by Uptown Brewing Company and was hosted on Sunday by Jam Stancil, a bartender working at the brewery.
“I thought it was really important to give local artists in Greenville a safe place to be able to one, sell their art but even just to show off,” said Stancil “Especially with us not doing the Umbrella Markets anymore and there’s just not a lot of events in the summertime, so during such a slow season, it’s just important to have artists around at all.”
The market will be held at Uptown Brewing Company every Sunday from 1 to 7 p.m. for at least the rest of the summer, in hopes that the market will be something that continues to happen in the future.
Since it was the first art market Uptown held, the vendors that participated in the event were reached out to individually from recommendations from other artists. Moving forward Uptown hopes to provide a sign-up sheet and post on their social media with the amount of vendor spots open for the event.
Jam Stencil also says she and Uptown are very happy to see local people in the community come together, make connections and encourage other artists to make more art.
