Opening in 2026, HYPHAE: Makers Market & Skills Studio is a co-creation of M and Jey of Yet Another Queer Pop-Up Market. It is the first 2SLGBTQIA+ and BIPOC-centered creative retail and workshop space in Western Massachusetts. Offering a mix of unique handmade items, artist-led skills courses, and creative business support for local makers, our goal is to be a “third space” for authentic, intersectional community-building and connection.
