Small Business focus: DesignerCon 2017
DesignerCon was another year of fantastic creators and vendors. Out of the 150+ artists, it was an overwhelming visual experience.
Every single artist at DesignerCon is an independant artist working hard at producing and showcasing their handwork. For this holiday weekend and supporting small business, here is list of just a tiny fraction of local creators to support.
