Artisan Mercado is a curated Latinx-focused arts market organized by Athena Silversmith, a local jewelry boutique in Austin. The market is dedicated to showcasing and supporting Latinx artists and artisans by providing them a platform to present their handcrafted works—including jewelry, textiles, paintings, clothing, handbags, and more.

Athena Silversmith drives the vision and logistics behind Artisan Mercado, overseeing vendor selection, event planning, and public promotion. The market is held indoors in a climate-controlled setting and open to the public at no admission cost.

By connecting artists with audiences, Athena Silversmith and Artisan Mercado contribute to Austin’s cultural vibrancy, uplift Latinx entrepreneurship, and foster a space where art, heritage, and community intersect.
