- The_Renegade_Craft_Fair abstract "The Renegade Craft Fair is an annual series of events showcasing a curated selection of contemporary handmade craft Makers from a diverse array of disciplines. It is a weekend-long celebration of DIY culture; a thoughtfully curated marketplace where shoppers and micro-entrepreneurs make meaningful connections. RCF was the first event of its kind when it was founded in 2003, creating a platform for the underground DIY community to stake a place in the design market on their own terms. 12 years later in 2015, RCF is still the largest and most far-reaching indie-craft fair out there, attracting over 325,000 attendees across 20 events in 8 cities including Chicago, IL; New York, NY; San Francisco, CA; Los Angeles, CA; Austin, TX; Portland, OR; Seattle, WA; and London, UK.HISTORYThe Renegade Craft Fair debuted in September of 2003 in Chicago, IL. Co-founded by Susie Daly and Kathleen Habbley as a Fair which catered to the burgeoning indie-craft community they saw gaining momentum on various websites and online stores. At the time, existing arts or crafts events either weren't approachable to or didn't feel representative of this community. RCF's founders were Makers themselves and had been looking, without success, for an event to participate in which appealed to their aesthetic and budget. So, in true DIY fashion, they decided to start their own Fair. Renegade was born of a need for a contemporary craft event, relevant to both emergent and established Makers, with a simple and affordable application process, and easy participation. Their goal was to provide an opportunity for modern Makers of affordable handmade goods to exhibit and sell their work in a lively marketplace which reflected their community and creative enthusiasm. In the following years, RCF's DIY craft fair concept has blossomed into the International network of events that RCF is today. The Company prides itself on having pioneered the way for the indie-craft movement to flourish, shaping where it stands today, and growing with it into the future.MISSIONRCF'S Mission is to showcase the very best of independent handmade craft in a vibrant and lively marketplace which both reflects and shines a light on the work of today’s modern Makers. We strive to keep our events approachable and relevant to emergent and established makers alike, focusing on the highest quality and newest voices. Renegade’s aim is to act as entrepreneurial incubator, community gathering space, and festive celebration of all things handmade.TESTIMONIALContrary to traditional craft fairs, The Renegade Craft Fair features contemporary handmade items of all kinds: clothing, jewelry, artwork, screenprint poster art, artist prints & editions, small collectibles, zines, DIY craftkits, papergoods, textile goods, housewares, knits, plush items, ceramics, bath & body products, and more.The Renegade Craft Fair grew in popularity as consumer interest in handmade goods has also increased – evidenced by the growing success of online sites like Etsy and Big Cartel, where many Renegade Craft Fair vendors keep online stores, and art, craft + design blogs.TIMELINE + LOCATIONSChicago, ILThe first Renegade Craft Fair was held in September 2003 in Chicago’s Wicker Park and featured 75 vendor booths. Each consecutive year saw an increase in attendance and vendor-booths alike, as well as media attention in local publications like The Chicago Reader. Businesses associated with DIY culture (ReadyMade Magazine, Venus Zine) also began taking an interest in the events, providing sponsorship and promotional support.In 2006, in addition to an annual summertime Fair, the first Renegade Craft Fair Winter Market was held at the Pulaski Park (Chicago) Fieldhouse.Summer 2007 saw the opening of Renegade Handmade (a brick and mortar storefront featuring work by RCF Makers) at 1924 W. Division St. in Wicker Park. RCF Chicago moved along Division St. between Damen Ave. and Paulina Ave. in Wicker Park. Later in 2007, Habbley left the Renegade Craft Fair & Renegade Handmade companies.2012 marked the 10th anniversary of the Chicago Renegade Craft Fair, and that year, the fair boasted the largest number of vendors to date (370 vendors and 300 vendor booths). The end of 2012 also marked the closing of the Renegade Handmade store as the Company turned its focus entirely to producing RCF events.In 2014 the Renegade Craft Fair Chicago Holiday Edition debuted in a new location, the Bridgeport Arts Center, after having outgrown its longtime home at Pulaski Park Fieldhouse.2015 RCF Chicago:RCF Chicago Pop-Up: June 27-28 | The HideoutRCF Chicago: September 19+20 | Division St. between Damen Ave. and Paulina Ave. RCF Chicago Holiday Edition: December 5+6 | Bridgeport Art CenterNew York, NYThe first Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn, NY, occurred in June 2005 along the softball field area of McCarren Park and featured over 125 vendor booths.

Daly approached her now husband, artist Mat Daly (the two were married in 2007), to produce a limited edition silkscreen poster for the first event and the tradition has stuck ever since, with Mat producing one limited edition, screen printed poster for each of RCF's 2 Seasons of events.On the occasion of the 10th annual Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago, Daly re-issued a limited edition of the first poster design.".
