About the Market On Main Team
Market on Main is powered by us - Lindsey, Elisa, and Janna - who believe in the magic of small businesses and the creative world they bring to life. With a shared passion for art, community, and entrepreneurship, we created Market on Main as an intentionally curated makers market in the heart of Over-the-Rhine.
Lindsey and Elisa, former owners of Main Street Shop & Studio, made the leap from retail to event curation, bringing their deep connections with local creatives into a new, dynamic space. Janna, a creative entrepreneur with a love for storytelling and design, rounds out the team, ensuring every market is a celebration of artistry and community.
Together, we’ve hosted three markets in the past two years - each a massive success - proving that when makers shine, the entire community thrives. You’ll find us hopping between coffee shops, exploring art galleries, and dreaming up new ways to bring people together through creativity.

Why we do what we do…
We believe that small businesses are the heartbeat of a community.
We’ve seen firsthand the talent, passion, and dedication that makers pour into their work, and we’re committed to creating a space where they can thrive. Our goal is to do more than just host a market - we want to cultivate a vibrant, supportive environment where artists, creatives, and entrepreneurs can connect with each other and with the people who appreciate their craft.
Being small business owners ourselves, we know the challenges that come with growing a brand, finding the right audience, and making meaningful connections. That’s why we’re intentional about every vendor, every detail, and every experience at Market on Main. We do this because we believe in the power of creativity, the importance of community, and the impact of shopping small.
At the end of the day, we’re here to celebrate makers, bring people together, and create a space where creativity shines.
