Creativity as Rebellion
A great sage once said, "Creativity is the greatest form of rebellion." With this sentiment in mind, Rebel Market was created in 2022 to provide a space for the Nevada County, CA community and creatives to thrive.
In a time of economic collapse, where housing and education costs have skyrocketed, Rebel Market was formed in response to the community's need for a space to share their gifts and offerings.
Our goal is to strengthen the existing trade culture and begin building mutual support and a circular economy in Nevada County, CA.
Artists and creatives are the sacred rebels - the gamblers and risk-takers who choose experience over security and stability. The story of the "starving artist" is no more. Rebel Market is catalyzing a movement of these visionary, unconventional thinkers who refuse to compromise their passion and creativity.
Rebel Market is also exploring new models of equitable contracting between artists and cultural institutions. Rather than focusing on rigid deliverables, we prioritize true partnerships and collaboration. This helps catalyze a movement towards non-hierarchical, cooperative structures that are led by artists themselves. By rethinking traditional power dynamics, we can create more sustainable, community-driven models to support the creative class.
Each month for the past two years, 30-65 vendors, creatives, artists, performers, changemakers, and thought leaders have gathered with over 200 community members to exchange goods and services, network, inspire, and vision together. Rebel Market has served over 800 creatives annually and has become a gathering place for revolutionaries - it's not just a marketplace, but a platform for positive change and cultural transformation.
As the great sage said, "Creativity is the greatest form of rebellion." Rebel Market embodies this spirit, providing a space for the community to come together, share their talents, and forge a new path forward in challenging times.
Unconventional Ideas
We believe that creativity is the ultimate form of rebellion. At Rebel Market, we honor unconventional ideas that challenge the status quo and inspire change.
