Missoula Maker’s Market aims at providing support to small businesses – A collective created by makers, for makers.

The goal of the monthly markets? To not only get artists selling their craft, but to build a local support system.

“Number one goal was to be approachable, and I mean, we have a lot of goals but that was a priority,” Cowen told MTN News.

Small business owners, Alanis Cruse and Hailey Michelson, say the Missoula Makers Collective helped get their businesses off and running.
