What is One Of A Kind?
One Of A Kind is a platform for sales, exposure, business development and community-building for makers of all kinds. With our year-round digital platforms, and anchored by our two flagship events, we help creative small businesses chart their own path to success!

- The Spring Show sees artisans gather for 5 days early each March - April. (Core Themes: self growth and self care)
