The Streetz Artz Alliance brings its signature curation back to Phase Three Brewing on Saturday, April 26, for a special Spring Artisan Market just in time for Mother's Day gifting. From 12 PM to 6 PM, more than three dozen local artists and makers will transform the brewery at 932 Donata Ct. into a vibrant celebration of handmade creativity, tasty treats, and community connection.

This family-friendly, free-to-attend event will also feature a visit from Cousins Maine Lobster Truck, serving up their iconic lobster rolls and seafood specialties from 12 PM to 7 PM. With Phase Three’s acclaimed beer lineup and plenty of space to browse, sip, and shop, it’s the perfect afternoon outing.

According to John E. Streetz, lead curator and founder of the Streetz Artz Alliance, nearly half of the featured artists are brand new to the venue. “It’s always exciting to bring in new talent. Returning shoppers will definitely have a fresh experience this time around.”

From spooky oddities and nature-inspired jewelry to geeky game accessories and glow-in-the-dark folklore art, the lineup spans an eclectic range of handmade offerings. Some standout first-time participants include:

Art of Alex Kujawa, whose folklore-inspired ink and digital prints capture the eerie beauty of haunted gardens and mythical creatures.
Cunning Linguist Co., known for sassy, feminist-themed pins, patches, and mugs made with sharp humor and inclusivity.
Wolf Den Gaming, a LGBTQ+ owned maker of dice towers, book nooks, and gamer gear for the tabletop crowd.
ScarabSanctuary, offering upcycled jewelry infused with myth, mystery, and Victorian steampunk flair.
Nethercrafts, creators of resin spirit boards, terrariums, and bug-filled chess sets for fans of the macabre.
Primtentions, a Navy veteran and intuitive maker whose intention candles, bath bombs, and crystal art stem from personal healing.

Additional new artists include Ink by Jordan, megandowntherabbithole, Demise Decor, Prairie Henna, Cuttingo Engraving, and many more—each bringing their own creative lens and fresh energy to the mix.

Returning favorites such as Masterclass Savory Sweet Foods, DK Custom Woodwork, Pretty Spooky Handmade, Gigawatt Coffee Roasters, and Self Made Body and Soul will also be on site, bringing handcrafted cookies, coffee, wellness products, and custom wood pieces to round out the market’s offerings. Be sure and ask Self Made about their new "Sack Splash" product.

This event continues a growing partnership between Phase Three Brewing and Streetz Artz Alliance. The brewery hosted the first “Be Mine Market” earlier this year, and plans are already in motion for upcoming shows on August 24 and November 29.

Brianne Adelman of Frankenwerks Studios, a Streetz Artz Alliance member and seasoned market coordinator, will be assisting at the event. While not vending herself this time, she’ll be behind the scenes helping artists and attendees get the most from their experience.

“Phase Three Brewing is thrilled to be hosting again,” said General Manager Gavin Fahey. “With the Spring theme and timing, this market is the perfect chance for our community to find meaningful, local gifts for Mother’s Day and beyond.”
