We need help with setup, greeting, vendor support, and teardown on market day.
VolunteerWhy it matters
The market brings our creative community together, gives local artisans a place to sell, and supports Potomac Made's charitable work. It's the first step toward the classes, studios, and permanent home for the arts we're working to build.
