Established in 2011, The Swing is The Midwest’s celebration of the handmade movement, striving to showcase the highest quality goods in an inclusive & accessible environment. Entrepreneurship & community thrive in our ecosystem. Our network of markets and pop-ups allows communities to gather & share in local culture, provides a platform for entrepreneurial growth, and provides consumers with an active role in affecting their local economy and landscape. The Swing has become a Kansas City tradition, with monthly pop-ups at historical spaces like The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Union Station, The Wornall Majors Museum, Powell Gardens, and more. This highly curated experience includes inspired handmade and vintage vendors, innovative food trucks, local live music, kids’ crafts and was recently featured as one of the Top 35 Indie Craft Fairs in the World. Our juried makers specialize in ceramics, clothing, printing, painting, photography, woodworking, leatherworking, metalsmithing, fiber arts, etc.
