the ART LOCKER art MARKETS
We're back with another Art Market!
The days are getting shorter... Not The Art Locker's Demons & Angels Art Market though! Meet a monster, find some magic, buy yourself a little treat!
We will have 30+ vendors selling prints, stickers, ceramics, stationery, apparel, and other goods they created!
Thank you for all your support so far. Please do help spread the word about our event, the more the merrier!
Mask Policy
We are a masked event! We will be supplying masks to attendees when they check in to our event space, but encourage you to bring your own masks!
Attendees are allowed to briefly unmask to eat and drink, but we do expect you to try to keep your masks on as much as possible during our event!
Lines / Wait Time
There will be two ways to enter our market, either with (1) a guaranteed entry timeslot ticket or (2) by lining up for free day of.
(1) If you show up during the timeslot your ticket is valid for, you will be guaranteed entry. There are a limited number of both free and paid timeslot tickets. If you do not make your timeslot, you will be able to join the free line.
(2) If you do not get a ticket, you can always wait in a line for free day of! The idea is that as timeslot ticket holders trickle out, we will be able to let people in from the free line as we wait for the next batch of timeslot tickets to arrive and be processed. We have previously also run into issues with people not showing up to events if they are holding a free ticket, so the free line should help mitigate that.
If you do not manage to snag a ticket, you can still RSVP to get event reminders and a free sticker!

We appreciate your patience on this front, and will try our best to give everyone a heads up on the wait situation if there is one.

While RSVP-ing is not required for attendees, RSVP-ing helps us gauge headcount!
