FAD Market Spotlights Makers for Black Business Month
FAD Market’s upcoming installment on Governors Island will feature an exciting line-up of 40 New York City homegrown makers, artists, designers, and entrepreneurs, offering one-of-a-kind handcrafted jewelry, art, apparel, bath and body care, tableware, home furnishings, condiments, spirits, and beverages.
In celebration of Black Business month, we are taking this moment to spotlight the 17 Black-owned women-led businesses that will be joining us on King Ave at Governors Island on August 21 and 22 from 11am to 5pm.
We will be a short ferry ride from Manhattan’s Battery Maritime Building, Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 6, and Red Hook’s Atlantic Basin.
