ThisIsTucson, a sister site of the Star, is hosting an artisan market in downtown Tucson on Saturday, Feb. 18, featuring local makers, a donation drive and a book scavenger hunt.
Gloria Knott I remember going to Pop Cycle for the first time. It was in middle school, with my best friend Michaela.
Now, if you ask me what my favorite thing to do in Tucson is, I'll answer with no hesitation. It's the artisan markets. I love walking through aisles of handcrafted items, seeing the incredible talent and hard work put into a watercolor print of a saguaro or a colorful bar of soap that smells like the desert. I love Tucson's makers almost as much as I love Tucson.
Here are the details.#ThisIsTucson's mission is to foster a community that knows and loves Tucson. The goal with this market is to show our love for Tucson's talented artists, and encourage the community to shop local. Features reporter Elvia Verdugo pitched the name Tucson Together — a name that embodies what we try to do everyday at #ThisIsTucson.
If you get to the market early enough, you might even find a free book. Tucson Tome Gnome, a group of book-loving friends who hide free books around town, will hide 10 free books around the market space. The books, “Ain’t That a Mother: Postpartum, Palsy, and Everything in Between” and “Black Love Matters: Real Talk on Romance, Being Seen and Happily Ever Afters,” are written or edited by local authors Adiba Nelson and Jessica P. Pryde, respectively.
