BKLYN Commons’ Annual Open Desk: Small Business Pop-Up Kicks Off Shop Small Saturday

The Open Desk: Small Business Pop-Up is back for its seventh year!

You can RSVP to let us know you’re attending or apply to be a vendor. Every year this event gets a little bit bigger and better, fusing the power of art, local entrepreneurship, and community support with an evening that truly has something for everyone. 

Just in time for the holiday season, BKLYN Commons will host its 7th Annual Open Desk: Small Business Pop-Up live and in person. The community-wide affair is Thursday, November 17 at 5:00 PM at BKLYN Commons’ 495 Flatbush Ave. location. 

Get a head-start on Small Business Saturday by browsing artisan and handmade goods from more than 50 local artisans, crafters, and small business owners. Their products range from baked goods to beauty and wellness essentials, handmade jewelry, clothing, and more. 

We designed the Open Desk: Small Business Pop-Up to connect small business owners in our network with the surrounding community. At the same time, local makers, artisans, and service providers can showcase their products, goods, and services to an engaged and lively audience.

For those visiting the space for the first time or re-acquainting yourself with the community, we invite you to stop by and take a tour, listen to local music, and enjoy complimentary food and drinks.
