Welcome back, ARTpool! We’ve missed you dearly. The co-op featuring funky accessories, vintage clothing, records, posters, light fixtures, glassware and so much more is making its return to the Sunshine City after brief hiatus. Owner Marina Williams is making sure the shop does it in Grand Central style.
ARTpool will host a special two-day Crafty Fest market on Saturday, September 14, and Sunday, September 15. The owners have added more than 1,000 new vintage items, according to a release, so all you thrifty folks in the Burg will have a ton to pick through.

The shop itself has been open for more than a decade. It’s one of our favorite shops to unwind at. The toy collection is like our old child room was put behind glass. Side note, ARTpool makes some of the best chicken salad in the Burg. PERIOD.
Nearly two dozen vendors are being teased for the two-day crafty fest. The festivities will run from 11am-5pm both Saturday and Sunday. The next Crafty Fest will take place October 12 and 13.
