About us

This community market was created as a need to promote community and unity amongst women creatives. Our vision is to cultivate meaningful and harmonious markets where locals can connect and share their brands. We are small business owners ourselves and understood the need for more pop-up markets and opportunities to sell in Santa Barbara. As a result, we decided to join forces in creating Mujeres Makers Market to bring visibility to the WOC businesses in our community. We focus on creating a safe space by filling the gap in representation.
