The Departments at Dayton’s Opens Spring Market

The Dayton’s Project welcomes spring market on first floor

Today, The Dayton’s Project launched its spring makers market, known as The Departments at Dayton’s. The spring line up will feature close to 40 vendors and a newly retooled spring collection.

The market offers an in-person retail experience in the heart of downtown Minneapolis in the newly redeveloped Dayton’s Project, a 1.2 million square foot office and retail environment. The Departments at Dayton’s offer an experiential opportunity for shoppers that coaxes people out of their homes and spurs other activities in downtown Minneapolis.

“The brands we’re showcasing in The Departments at Dayton’s have shown such creativity and resilience,” said Mich Berthiume, expert curator of the maker’s market, “Each and every single maker in the market brings a unique skillset and incredible passion to their products, which enhances the experience of the market. When you buy at The Departments at Dayton’s, you’re supporting local businesses and local community members who have poured their hearts into their incredible products.”

The new vendors open in The Departments at Dayton’s include, Zeroish, Grande Gallery, Righteous Souls, Embellish, Sweet Heaven, Corazon Clothing, The Salsa Collaborative, and Vanlice Lemonade.

The spring market will also feature an Artist Corner featuring work by former Dayton’s employee, Joel Kaplan, and three other local artists: Ann Bendt, Terry Saario, and Olivia Kor. The returning vendors include Native Roots, Handmod, Larissa Loden, Karen Morris, Molly Pepper, Opal Cool (now including Workerb skincare, honey and tea, as well as Sutter Buttes Olive Oils), Onyx Cool, Blue Heron, Minnesota Awesome, Shop in the City, Giftywrap, Rocky Robinson, Kobi and Co., Zelba and Mary, San Jose Chocolate, Junita’s Jar (which will now include warm cookies for sale on site!).

“We’re proud to be a part of the efforts to reanimate downtown Minneapolis,” said Hans Okerstrom, General Manager of The Dayton’s Project. “The Dayton’s Project is proud of our location and of our role in bringing vibrancy back to downtown. The retail offerings we’re delivering demonstrate our commitment to the future of Minneapolis.”
