THE MARKET
Artists & Fleas is a marketplace where makers, creators, collectors and vintage curators come together to show and to sell and where the larger creative community of shoppers & sellers comes to discover and be discovered. With locations in New York City (Williamsburg, Brooklyn and Chelsea Market) and Venice (LA), Artists & Fleas is committed to building exciting retail and event-based shopping experiences that keep our communities vibrant, celebrate the spirit of the entrepreneur and create compelling and memorable in-person retail markets.
In April 2021, Artists & Fleas launched Regeneration (@re_generation), a new market dedicated to vintage, pre-loved and second-hand fashion designed for the sustainably-minded next generation of vintage shopper, hunter and collector. In December 2021, Artists & Fleas co-founders Ronen Glimer and Amy Abrams assumed the reigns of The Manhattan Vintage Show, a 30 year old iconic show held four times a year in NYC that brings together over 90 vintage dealers for 3 days of non-stop vintage thrills.

All of our business entities are born of the belief that the modern retail experience lacks creativity, optimism, dynamism and fun --- things that are increasingly hard to come by in a click-to-buy universe. From its inception, Artists & Fleas has been a conductor of human-to-human transaction - where stories are as plentiful as products and the thrill of discovery awaits.
All marketplaces and events are defined by the community of shoppers and sellers that champions self-expression and locally-driven commerce where conversations, connections and relationships unfold.
We are a place for artists, designers and vintage curators to find new homes for their creations and for shoppers to find themselves in the objects they discover. We aim to be more than just shopping. We are a place to discover and be discovered.
