Shops in Kentucky That Support Local Makers
These 7 shops say on their own pages that they stock or support local makers, artists or authors. 6 of them are accepting right now; the other one has a closed window or a waitlist, marked on its card. All are in Kentucky; see all 293 nationwide or the Louisville page.
The 7 shops
Revelry Boutique + Gallery
NuLu boutique and gallery selling handmade gifts, jewelry, home goods and fine art from the local arts community.
Heads up: No photography, no AI-generated work, and large work or sculpture is hard to place.
The Shop Louisville
Frankfort Avenue craft-beer shop and bar with a revolving local art wall plus locally sourced soaps, honey and woodworking.
Heads up: It's a beer shop first, so space is limited to its art wall and local-product shelves.
Carmichael's Bookstore
Louisville's long-running independent bookstore, with shops in the Highlands and on Frankfort Avenue.
Heads up: No AI-generated content.
Louisville Visitor Center
Louisville Tourism's downtown visitor center, whose shop sells Louisville apparel and Bourbon City souvenirs made by local artisans.
Heads up: This is a paid promotional placement rather than consignment.
Rainbow Blossom Natural Food Markets
Louisville's original family-owned natural food market, open since 1977, with five stores.
Heads up: Preference goes to local, certified-organic or Non-GMO Project verified products.
The Train Depot Markets
Historic train depot in Buechel hosting farmers and art night markets for local growers, artists and makers.
Not accepting right now. Pop-up market, so it doesn't count toward launch.
Completely Kentucky
Family-owned Frankfort shop in a restored 190-year-old building, carrying fine crafts and gourmet foods from 650+ Kentucky artisans for over 35 years.
Heads up: Frankfort is about an hour east of Louisville.
