FREE ADMISSION • INDOOR EVENT • FAMILY FRIENDLY
Presented by Well Valley | Hosted in partnership with Westgate Community Center
Made to Market Expo brings together local entrepreneurs, makers, small businesses, food vendors, community organizations and families for an indoor community marketplace right here in Albuquerque.
Come discover what's being built in our community, shop for the holidays, connect with local resources, grab something to eat and spend the day with us.
Then use five little columns/cards:
🛍️ THE MARKETPLACE
Shop local businesses, makers, crafts, products and services.
🚚 THE FOOD SPOT
Discover participating food trucks and approved food vendors.
🤝 COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
Meet organizations and programs serving Albuquerque families.
🎵 THE EXPERIENCE
Activities, entertainment and family fun.
🏆 MADE TO MARKET BUILDERS
Meet entrepreneurs who developed their businesses through our community workshops.
Made to Market Expo is the culmination of something we've been building all fall at Westgate Community Center.
Through free Made to Market workshops, community members can take an idea, skill, product or service and work through the foundational steps of bringing it to market:
IDEA → STORY → CUSTOMER → OFFER → BRAND → MARKET → SYSTEM → SELL
Some participants may arrive with an established business.
Others may start with little more than:
“People keep telling me I should sell this.”
Made to Market gives them somewhere to start—and December 5 gives them somewhere to go.
JOIN A FREE WORKSHOP
Before clicking “add to cart” one more time this December, come see what's being made and built right here in Albuquerque.
Discover handmade goods, local products, services, gifts and businesses while putting your holiday dollars back into the community.
Shop small. Meet the maker. Know the story behind the gift.
Whether you're an experienced business owner, maker, crafter, author, service provider, food entrepreneur—or you're preparing for your very first market—we'd love to learn more about what you're building.
Made to Market is a curated community marketplace, so prospective vendors complete an application and review process before being accepted.
That's okay.
Our free Made to Market workshops are designed to help developing entrepreneurs prepare.
VIEW VENDOR INFO
Made to Market isn't only about commerce.
We're also inviting organizations, programs and community partners that provide helpful resources to Albuquerque families.
If your organization will be providing information or resources rather than selling products or services, community resource spaces may be available at no cost.
BECOME A COMMUNITY RESOURCE PARTNER
I'd send this to the Vendor page too, where they'll choose Community Resource Partner.
We're building a team of volunteers, partners and community connectors to help us prepare for and support Made to Market Expo.
Whether you can help before the event, on December 5, or simply connect us with someone who should know about Made to Market, we'd love to hear from you.
GET INVOLVED
Eventually this can go to your master interest form.
