Made in NYC Week 2023 Opportunities
Posted on March 22, 2023 / Press
All the ways to get involved in Made in NYC Week 2023—the fifth annual celebration of local making and manufacturing in New York City!
Made in NYC Week 2023 is around the corner and we’re looking for the support and participation of our members to make this year’s event a success.
The week will kick off with an Opening Night Party on Friday, May 5th, so save the date, watch for your invitation in the coming weeks, and come celebrate with us.
From May 5–14, Made in NYC members will have the opportunity to be featured in limited Made in NYC Collections at 8 select boutiques around the city and to vend at 4 of the city’s best pop-up markets. Made in NYC members may also volunteer to assist with promotion and event coordination, or to provide sponsorship for a portion of the programs. More details about each of these opportunities can be found below.
