Born as a small, scrappy effort to connect people with real art made by real people, you’ll find us popping up in markets, fairs, short-term rentals, and overlooked corners carrying a rotating collection of one-of-a-kind pieces by emerging artists from the Pacific Northwest. Jewelry, prints, odd objects, beautiful things, all made by hand, by someone you can actually meet.
No mass production.
No factory lines.
Just thoughtful work with a story behind it.
​
Whether you're here to share your work or take something home, Bork is built for you.

Artist, Maker, Lummox?
Got something beautiful, strange, or handmade you’re proud of? We want to show it. Bork exists to give emerging and independent artists a platform, no gallery rep required. We offer space at Bork-attended markets, and also sell online and in rotating short-term rental showcases, offering flexible options for originals, prints, or both.
Recycled and unusual materials encouraged!

We stay small on purpose
Carving out quiet,
creative space
in a mass-marketed world

Turn Your Short-term Rental Into a Gallery
Here’s a cool idea: turn your rental space into a mini-gallery featuring original work by Portland artists, rotated regularly, totally hands-off for you, and fully shoppable for your guests. Visitors can take pieces home or scan a code to order a print shipped directly to them.
All profits go straight to the artist, and prints are made locally.
It’s a unique guest experience, a way to support local creatives, and it makes your space look awesome.
Win-win-win.
Hello Curious Shoppers

Everything in our in-person markets is priced under $150, and our online shop is updated weekly with new work. Some pieces are originals, some are locally printed on demand, either way, your money goes directly to the artist.

No markups.
Just real art, by real people​
