Little Rock, Little Market

An open letter to our vendors:

Little Rock Little Market started over a year ago as a defiant shout into the void: “Hey! Look at us! Our community makes cool things! Look at the ideas their hands have breathed life into!” That first shout was with a shaky voice & uncertain hands. Insecure & hesitant in the parking lot of an abandoned building, we turned our jumbled ideas into a successful market. How did we do it?

You.

The artists who spin their passions into gold. The vendors who get up early on a Saturday to spend their day out in the elements. The ones who gracefully dig through bins for the best thrifted items in the name of fashionable sustainability. The artists who dedicate their free time to creating masterpieces. The vendors who share our posts and spread the word of upcoming events. Word of mouth & social media are powerful tools, & our vendors wield that combined arsenal with succinct mastery. Without each of these elements, LRLM would not be what it is.

That’s what it’s all about. Recognizing the insanely talented local scene and helping showcase these creators (YOU!) to the world. We are surrounded by people who are full of ideas & artistry. The creative scene in Little Rock is thriving! We want to fan the embers of that flame into something even bigger & we love that we are a part of your journey.

All of this is just to say that we’re grateful for you. We had an idea that it’d be cool to have a lot of artists of different mediums in one place & then turn it into a party. That was the goal. Then we got attached & invested & basically caught feelings way too quickly because now we devote so much of our time to ensuring y’all have a joyful space to show off your work. And it’s an absolute pleasure to do so because you’re just so cool to us. We recognize the work you do & maintain such respect for your individuality and technique. You have a special place in our hearts.

We love what we do, seeing your faces, having conversations with you, & admiring your work. Each of you is the next big thing, we’re so sure of it. Your hearts are big and your talent is even bigger. Thank you for working with us.

With love,
John & B ❤

“Vibrant Venom is a fem-owned, tattoo-inspired small business operating out of central Arkansas. Think Lisa Frank meets sailor Jerry. I’m in love with the American traditional tattoo style and decided to put my ideas into a tangible form instead of your typical paint on paper flash art. Created by me- so that I can bring my dreams to life and share”

“Hey y’all, my name is Aaliyah! I am a Little Rock native and I love helping others find the right tools for their spiritual journey. I created Give More Love Creations back in 2020 when my faith was challenged due to me losing my job. I started studying crystals and their healing abilities while also practicing the skill of wrapping them in copper wire. I hope to help others during their spiritual journey by creating jewelry that heals and sharing knowledge of self-care.”

Let's make this the best market yet! See you all there!

To our community & friends:

After the devastating weather that tore through Little Rock yesterday, we have made the decision to postpone the market.

The rescheduled date is tentative but we are aiming for the 16th, 2 weeks out.

We love LRLM, but that stems from our love for this community. We are saddened to postpone, but want to be able to fully commit ourselves to assisting anyone who needs help in the aftermath of the tornadoes.

That being said, we want to bring to your attention! They are helping turn our worries and concerns into action. They will be accepting donations such as diapers, non perishable foods, books, toys, etc. at their storefront. If you can, we encourage you to donate to them or any other facilities in LR that are helping with tornado relief!

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out! We love you guys 💛

If you’re a vendor check your email for more information!
