ARTIST POP-UPS AT SMALL WORLD: Small World Coffee has hosted three artist pop-up shows at their Nassau Street location, shining a light on the creative talents of local and regional vendors. There are more opportunities to shop small coming up through June. Pictured is Local artist Jacqui Alexander.

Small World Coffee has a motto: “Support your local everything.” That is the driving force behind a new Artist Pop-Up series at their Nassau location, to be held on select days in May and June. These one-day-only sales invite community members and visitors alike to shop directly from local makers working in paint, ceramics, vintage, stickers, pins, tees, totes, and more.

“Supporting local creatives has been at the heart of Small World since day one,” said owner Jessica Durrie. “Whether it’s art on the walls, music in the air, or a pop-up full of handmade goods, it brings life to our cafés and reminds us of the incredible talent in our community. Thirty-one years in, and it still makes everything better.”

Vendor Nook & Fern kicked off the series in April with sourced and handmade home decor, followed by painter and former “Worlding” Jacqui Alexander with mini paintings at affordable prices. In early May, local consignment boutique Crow and Teapot sold new and gently used clothing and accessories.

The schedule of upcoming Nassau Artist Pop-Ups is as follows: May 29 — Off the Chain Studios; May 31— Nightbird Vintage; June 12 — Yardsale Press; June 14 – Minako Ota; June 25 — Nook and Fern; and June 28 – Nightbird Vintage.

The Pop-Ups are at 254 Nassau Street, 10 a.m. to -2 p.m. Dates will resume in August. To be considered for a Nassau Artist Pop-Up, email Durrie at jessica@smallworldcoffee.com. For more information, visit Small World Coffee.com.
