Village at Leesburg Launches Pop-up Artisan Market Opens Nov. 4

MADE Market provides an indoor art fair shopping experience through the holidays

MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 25, 2021—Village at Leesburg (located on Route 7 just east of Leesburg, Va.,) announced a unique new retail experience for the holiday season. MADE Market opens on November 4 through January 2 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The MADE Market is open Thursday through Sunday of each week, and is officially located at 1609 Village Market Blvd., S.E., Suite 110, Leesburg, Va.

“We wanted to be able to provide shoppers with an upscale and unique arts and crafts show experience indoors,” said Susan Bourgeois, executive director of Leasing & Brokerage at Rappaport, the company that owns, manages and leases Village at Leesburg. The public will be able to connect with Virginia artists, craftsmen, makers and innovators in all types of mediums including painting, pottery, jewelry making, mixed media, sculpture and glass blowing.

MADE is an indoor artisan market that celebrates artistry, fine craftsmanship and innovations in art. The market will feature local artists of many mediums including oil paintings, watercolor, and pastel. There are also fine jewelers who will have their creations available in the market. Ceramic and wood artisans, textile artists, fine crafters who make unique gift sets, handmade body care, and much more will also be available. Most of the artists are local to Loudoun County but there is also curated work from artists as far away as Utah and Michigan. Most of our artists will be available in the store so shoppers can meet the maker and create something with many of them. Store merchandise and artists will change slightly each week so shoppers should make a point to visit the market weekly.

Additional holiday activities will launch on November 13 with a big tree lighting kick-off, visits from Santa and a whole host of exciting celebrations. For a complete holiday schedule, go to www.villageatleesburg.com/events.
