Tempestuous Encounters

❤️

While we are in the planning stages of this new venture, I’ll be sharing some of our plans, how things are going and who we are looking forward to working with! This page will be a blog of how building a community of entrepreneurs and artists to curate themed experiences goes for a small biz owner who has no clue how to start. 😜😂😑

All while HONORING the small businesses that make it all happen.

If you know a business looking to host an adult centered market, class,event or fund raising project but doesn’t have the time/energy/knowledge/drive to do so, we are here for you!

If you have the space, let us bring the fun. Let’s create a gathering that brings out the weird, wild and wonderful!! 🤩

I know. I know.
Things are changing and you may be wondering, where the hell is the food!!!
It’s still here. I promise. BUT it’s a by request only service now for my inner circle of biz friends. I had to choose what’s taking priority and I’m ready to start planning THIS.

We are creating something different.
Not another average makers market. Not another event filled with the same tables selling the same products.
We are building an immersive adult-themed group of markets designed for the weird, the alternative, the creative, the curious, and the unapologetically unconventional.

Our events will bring together independent makers, artists, performers, educators, creators, and small businesses for themed experiences that combine shopping, entertainment, education, and community. All while honoring the people who do all the hard work - OUR VENDORS!!!

Each market will have its own identity—from gothic and witchy gatherings to Valentine’s events, dark carnivals, burlesque-inspired evenings, alternative art markets, and unapologetically naughty shopping experiences.

Guests won't simply come to browse vendor booths.
They will come to dress up, laugh, discover something new, support independent creators, enjoy live entertainment, participate in unique activities, and experience a market unlike anything else in the area.

Our goal is to create a pop-up type of space that is adult, alternative, creative, consent-conscious, and welcoming. A judgement free gathering of creative minds.
A space where handmade goods can be beautiful, bizarre, sensual, hilarious, dark, provocative, or all of the above.
We believe adults deserve more than the same predictable event experiences. We also believe that the weirdos of the world need a place to gather and be accepted and welcomed.
We believe small businesses deserve an audience that is excited to discover something new. We believe they should be treated with dignity and respect! We believe in being a sanctuary to the alternative and business owner community!
And we believe a market can be more than a place to shop.
It can be a whole experience for EVERYONE involved.

Welcome to Tempestuous Encounters!!!
Coming Soon!

Our first official gig! 🥰

Let us help you graze!
