"The LITTLE CRAFT SHOW" | MEET some of the Women in this year's winter craft shows.

We gathered some of the most incredible women in Northwest Arkansas (and surrounding states) to celebrate this year's Winter LITTLE CRAFT SHOW at LIKEWISE Commuity + Co Working Space. The beautiful thing about theses photos is the interaction between these amazing women, most of them meeting for the first time. These are the passionate makers and small business owners that make up our creative community and The Little Craft Show.

The Little Craft Show was founded in 2011 by Amber Perrodin and Natalie Freeman as a fun, “little” event to sell handmade products. With a small venue and a handful of crafty friends, it was decided to invite others to participate. The response was amazing. Much to their surprise, applications from all over Northwest Arkansas and even a few from out of state within just a few weeks of announcing our “little craft show” started coming in. They quickly realized in the first year that this was something that needed to continue. After experiencing 600 shoppers in 2011, a whopping 4,000+ in 2012 & 2013, and over 8,000 shoppers in 2016, their instincts were right! Now in 2019 ,this LITTLE Craft show is BIGGER than ever.

Likewise is a collaborative workspace designed to engage the community in both work & play. Art and plant-filled offices, meeting rooms, creative space, event venue, and photography studios. It's a place for inclusivity, wellness, opportunity, and connection. A place to make beautiful things and have important conversation. A place to cultivate local talent, community engagement, and conscious practices. Grab a seat in the shared areas or customize a private office.

Craft an installation or host a gathering in the industrial studios. Whatever the project, they have the space! Coworking wings for members with in-house coffee, hi-speed internet, and flexible workspaces in an open, warm environment. A space for ideas to flourish and focused work to happen. Meet in a private conference room, grab a drink in the cafe or happy hour at the bar. Recreation areas — like Arcadia Games and yoga spaces — throughout.
