This Saturday from 6 to 10 p.m. is your chance to shop 20 local and national independent businesses all in one spot. The ARTisan Café at Artspace will bring together creative designers, confectioners, artists and more from Richmond, as well as a few national lines with similar individualistic styles. Your $5 admission gets you shopping privileges, along with live music and a fun, celebratory atmosphere.

Some of the local players you’ll see there include Babycakes Bakery, cupcake-maker extraordinaire; Henleava jewelry by Jay Sharpe; House of Lukaya, one-of-a-kind art creations and national beauty products; Pucker Cake, natural lip products; and Wild Child Dzign fashions. Go here for the full list of artists.

This sounds like a great opportunity for a girls’ night out during which you'll discover some new, handcrafted products.
