Calling all makers and shakers! Join us for a community market featuring handmade crafts and local eats for sale, as well as creative do-it-yourself activities at NextFab. Discover what’s being made right in the neighborhood by Philly artists and designers working in a range of media. Stock up on and enjoy food and drink, and try something new at our make-and-take stations. Donate your crafting materials that you no longer need and anything else that could be creatively re-purposed to The Resource Exchange, Philadelphia’s Creative Reuse Center. Stop by our community market to get a taste of what’s being made right here in Philly and even take a piece of it home with you. Interested in selling your work? Contact us at events@nextfab.com.

Art Market at Tyler is a non-profit art and craft fair designed to support the regional arts community by providing artists, artist collectives, students, and businesses who serve artists a venue for sale of work, self promotion and networking. We provide an easily accessible space for holiday shoppers and collectors to find new works by emerging and established artists. Visitors will enjoy complimentary food and drinks from Victory Brewing Company during our “Crafts & Drafts” happy hour, and access to participate in maker classes and watch demonstrations. Art Market at Tyler is promoted heavily by Temple University as a signature event for Homecoming Weekend’s “Night of the Arts”. Complete schedule with information for buyers, party goers and looky-loos coming soon.

Nathalie Du Pasquier, BIG OBJECTS NOT ALWAYS SILENT and Speech/Acts
A Walkthrough with the Curators

Join Alex Klein, curator of Nathalie Du Pasquier: BIG OBJECTS NOT ALWAYS SILENT and Meg Onli, curator of Speech/Acts, two exhibitions currently on view at ICA, for a walkthrough of the exhibitions.

This event is organized and presented by Collab at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Center for Architecture and Design.

Collab at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Center for Architecture + Design invite you to meet Tyler Hays, founder of BDDW. A visionary designer and 21st century craft entrepreneur, Tyler has won accolades from the design community and beyond for his ability to marry the fine craftsmanship of a luxury atelier with an appealingly rustic American aesthetic that appeals to a wide (but discerning) audience. He has been described in the pages of the New York Times as an “obsessive, eccentric master craftsman,” and Tyler’s Philadelphia studio produces furniture, ceramics, clothing, beer, one-of-a-kind turntables and other objects for his high-end Milan and Soho showrooms, BDDW and M.Crow.

At this special DesignPhiladelphia event, Tyler will talk about his career as a painter, sculptor, designer and maker of many things, who is forging a sophisticated aesthetic while working in a homegrown, vernacular style.

Guests will then be invited to embark on a treasure hunt in the Museum’s 17th and 18th century decorative arts galleries, where they will seek and find some of Tyler’s pieces temporarily positioned within the elegant sweep of design history.
