Friendly City Flea + the Studio

This year we opened up our studio at the Friendly City Flea and the amazing has been capturing these amazing moments during each market.

This Saturday night, July 13th, the studio is open and everyone at the Friendly City Flea will receive a complimentary photo from our amazing Photographer. (tips are always appreciated!) The studio is inside Oscura in the room behind the stage!

We started offering portraits for a few reasons.
1. It's fun + we love the joy it brings.
2. We want to create access in all areas of the art world. So we think access to forever memories is part of that.
3. We think everyone deserves a great picture of themselves and their loved ones.

See you Saturday, July 13th from 6 PM - 10 PM at Oscura in downtown, Bradenton for Summer & Soul.

Who We Are

Started by creatives, for creatives.

We believe Bradenton needs a change from the same lifestyle it’s grown accustomed to. In the spirit of change, we’re partnering with loads of artists and craftsmen/women to bring a curated flea market to our city in order to introduce new ideas to Bradenton while also supporting the small businesses and artists that share our vision for the community.

The vision we have for the Friendly City Flea is grounded in three ideas: Community, Creative Lifestyle, and Supporting Small Businesses. With these ideas in mind, we decided to create a flea borrowing inspiration from markets nationwide; from Seattle to right here in Tampa. A collective market founded by creatives, for creatives curated specifically to gather artisans and craftsmen/women that Bradenton hasn’t had exposure to, as well as allowing creatives to cultivate relationships & work together to further their creative journeys.
