Host a Demo or Workshop at Hands-On Handmade Arcade

Handmade Arcade’s annual Holiday Market in Pittsburgh, PA comes alive through Hands-On Handmade Arcade (HOHA), a pop-up craft-lab environment featuring hands-on making, live artistic demonstrations, and interactive experiences hosted by community partners, artists, and creatives from around the region.

Handmade Arcade seeks proposals from artists and organizations with creative ideas to help our audiences embrace and explore craft. HOHA will run on December 5-6, 2026 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Downtown Pittsburgh, and load-in will be required on December 4, 2026. Applications are accepted and decisions will be made on a rolling basis. We recommend applying as soon as possible. Applications submitted by September 1 will be prioritized.
