Renegade Craft Fall/Winter Fair Returns to Chelsea, NYC, Nov. 14–15

Renegade Craft's Fall/Winter fair lands at the Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 W. 18th St. in Chelsea, on Saturday, Nov. 14 and Sunday, Nov. 15. The organizers bill it as an early holiday fair and say more than 200 curated artists will be selling. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, and the fair is held indoors.

The official roster spans a wide range of categories: ceramics, jewelry, clothing, home furnishings, glass, woodwork, textiles, stationery, fragrance and beauty, vintage, and food and beverage. Booth numbers are listed for each maker on the Renegade site. Local names on the list include Brooklyn Misomaru and Flatbush Granola Company.

Renegade describes the fair as an answer for conscious consumerism, sustainability and an accessible creative economy. It says it aims for low-impact, thoughtfully curated events that work for both artists and shoppers. A $5 suggested entry fee, paid by QR code on site, supports the organization's work toward an accessible, equitable and inclusive creative economy.

The Metropolitan Pavilion is an elevated venue with ramp access from 18th Street, and limited indoor seating is available near the entrance. Service animals are welcome; pets are not permitted. The organizers point visitors to public transit, carpooling, ride services or biking, noting that the venue is reachable by the 1, 2, 3 and L trains, and that street parking is hard to find.

For visitors from Japan, it is a chance to buy handmade goods directly from the people who made them, which suits holiday gift shopping. The fair runs just these two days, Nov. 14 and 15.
