Here you will be able to experience panel discussions, performances, and see things from all walks of life.

A Pop Up Art Market brought to you by SJ Makers will include food/beverage vendors, local entrepreneurs, artists, and creatives of various aspects. Our goal is to activate the artist community by bringing together artists, local neighborhoods, small businesses, and the creative community from all over the Bay Area.
