Our Story
What began as a vision for a community-focused creative market has grown into a vibrant space supporting over 20 local vendors — and counting. We wanted to build a place where:
* Artists, makers, and boutique sellers could grow their businesses
* Shoppers could find one-of-a-kind items they won’t see anywhere else
* Somerset could enjoy a year-round artisan shopping experience
* Creativity, craftsmanship, and community could thrive together
Today, Artisan Outlet stands as a gathering place for artisans, locals, and visitors who appreciate handmade quality and unique finds.
What You’ll Find Here
Explore an ever-changing selection of:
~ Handmade jewelry
~ Hand-poured candles & soaps
~ Wooden crafts & home décor
~ Vintage and antique goods
~ Seasonal displays & gifts
~ Art, apparel, and locally made creations
~ Boutique businesses
Every visit brings something new — because every vendor brings their own creative style and story.
Our Commitment to Local Makers
We are proud to support small businesses by offering:
* Affordable booth rentals
* Daily staff on-site
* Marketing & promotion across our social platforms
* A high-traffic retail space in downtown Somerset, located on the 2nd floor above the Golden Duck
