The 12 shops
PIQUE
Covington art gallery and bed & breakfast with a small boutique gift shop of artist-made work.
Heads up: The shop keeps irregular hours, so set up an appointment before you bring work in.
Purple Paisley Artisan Shop
Artisan shop showcasing more than 75 Tri-State artists.
Heads up: The rent and commission amounts aren't published.
Revelry Boutique + Gallery
NuLu boutique and gallery selling handmade gifts, jewelry, home goods and fine art from the local arts community.
Heads up: No photography, no AI-generated work, and large work or sculpture is hard to place.
Logan Street Market
Shelby Park public market and small-business incubator with makers, artists and food vendors under one roof.
Heads up: There's typically a waitlist for retail spaces.
Louisville Visitor Center
Louisville Tourism's downtown visitor center, whose shop sells Louisville apparel and Bourbon City souvenirs made by local artisans.
Heads up: This is a paid promotional placement rather than consignment.
MELANnaire Marketplace
Louisville-founded traveling marketplace for Black entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Heads up: Pop-up market, so it doesn't count toward launch.
The Train Depot Markets
Historic train depot in Buechel hosting farmers and art night markets for local growers, artists and makers.
Not accepting right now. Pop-up market, so it doesn't count toward launch.
Completely Kentucky
Family-owned Frankfort shop in a restored 190-year-old building, carrying fine crafts and gourmet foods from 650+ Kentucky artisans for over 35 years.
Heads up: Frankfort is about an hour east of Louisville.
