renegade round-up.
held this past weekend, the 2nd annual san francisco renegade craft fair was double the fun this year! it was jam-packed! and full of some fresh new work i’d yet to see, like my purchases for the day, silk screen prints from Montréal-based artist jason cantoro and his cinqunquatre studio partner alice jarry (just below). i just loved their uniquely beautiful work. not only was renegade bustling with people perusing the many booths and having a great time, the vendors seemed to be doing a grand business of selling, too, which in this economy is great news, and i’m sure, very much appreciated by all the artists in attendance at renegade this year. next up – renegade chicago, september 12 & 13. here’s a peek at what i was able to capture.
loved this quilted booth banner from random nicole.
beautiful homespun yarn from rosebud studios.
great poster artists A. Micah smith of my associate cornelius and frank chimero.

Hi Victoria, I learned about the Renegade Craft Fair from your site and was able to go on Saturday. There were so many amazing artists and crafters. I absolutely loved the embroiderey from Hillery Rebeka Sporatt! Thanks for sharing these pictures from the event!
That slide business card is GENIUS! Just collecting the cards was worth goign, no? This was so much fun visiting Renegade vicariously and geez, Emily from Black Apple never takes a bad pic does she? Just pretty as a peach…
Thank you for this! Feels like I actually was able to stop by! Hoping to make the next Brooklyn one…
I can’t thank you enough for this post! I completely forgot to write down the info from the cinqunquatre booth and could not remember their name for the life of me to allow me to search for them online after the show. I had almost given up hope, so THANK YOU!!!! :)
Oh, I LOVE the cinqunquatre booth as well! Unfortunately I went in with a budget, but I am most definitely saving up for one of their prints in the future.
Here are some other pics from Renegade.

Thanks so much for a fabulous recap for folks like myself who weren’t able to attend, but oh so wish they could have! It looks like the fun and inspiring time I imagine it to be.
I was so excited to go this year and managed to snag an Alice Jarry print as well. Frank Chimero was another favorite of mine too. It was bustling, wasn’t it? What a great time!
wow, that looks amazing! i love the quilt and yarn, in addition to absolutely everything else!
This looked like such fun! The Black Apple is just so sweet! I hope to attend the fair one of these days. Thanks for sharing the pics!
wish i’d been there!
hey victoria, supa dupa post, got me scheming, why don’t we have a renegade craft fair in south africe? do you know the head honchos? i think heather moore of skinnylaminx would be a dead ringer to be envolved. travel could be an issue for the artists, but you could sort of curate the thing and we do it as aselling an exhibition, likrethe american pavilion at the venice biennalle. i would be happy to help in anny way.
it was a fun day, will with loads of talent! the good thing is – you can find most of these folks online!
neville – that is one great idea…let’s chat offline!
I have seeen this all over the web now. Wish I could have gone. Looks like it was fun with all those talented and creative people sharing their products in one place.
Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful memories and beautiful photos!
