Makers create products people love to wear, eat, drink, use, gift, or decorate with. We are seeking to curate businesses that are at their core are artisanal, maker, creative, or light manufacturing (i.e. things skillfully and lovingly made by hand or produced locally).

Accepted makers may have a small resell or service component to their business, but the majority of the products should be produced on-site at Makerhoods.

Newark Makerhoods is focused on food & beverage, fashion & beauty, and neighborhood service businesses.

We are open to other business categories as long as it is a maker business. If your business does not fall into one of these categories, but you believe it would benefit the Newark Makerhoods community, contact us at info@makerhoods.com
