The Mayday! Underground Crafts + Art aims to bring the people of Rochester a unique shopping experience. Inspired by the handmade movement sweeping the nation, this event seeks to bring local artists and craftspeople together to benefit the community. Here, you can purchase awesome handmade items ranging from housewares to jewelry that were made by independent businesses rather than big-box stores. You’ll find unique, funky, and fresh designs that are all one-of -a-kind.
The last Mayday Underground took place at the Main Street Armory on November 5 ,2011. The first 50 shoppers received a free swag bag filled with handmade items from our vendors. We also conducted a toiletry collection for Sample Soap, a local charity based in the Hungerford Building. Unique to the show in November, we held an exhibition titled the root of art over craft. Find details HERE.
The next Mayday Underground is April 28, 2012 at the Village Gate Atrium. We’ll have 50 vendors, free stuff, and lots of fun! Like us on facebook and join our mailing list.

Can’t wait for November 6th. I have been green and upcycling for years. Not only with vintage Linens and textiles and clothing but now with funky artwork made from Silverware. Come see the most Acoustical in the place. As one young customer stated “Your both is so enchanting”. We make people smile. Happy trails and come visit us.

[...] Mayday Underground, that is! I have been sporadic here of late because the rest of this month is a bit hectic around here. My semester is coming to a close soon and with that I have grading galore. We are trying to work on the garden when the weather allows, and I’m preparing for the show on April 30th! [...]
