Mid-winter is here and with the recent cold fronts, how could anyone want to go out? Never fear, Shwick is here, with a full roster of markets and workshops to help you get your February fix. Spoiler alert, it’s all indoors!
Shwick was founded in 2013 by Christopher Carew and his wife Jinyen, after having operated a successful t-shirt business. Carew, who has been living in Brooklyn since 2004, started Shwick as a pop-up market, where local businesses and artists could sell their goods. Much to the entrepreneurial couple’s surprise, their little market grew into something much bigger.
Fast forward and the couple has been hosting markets under Shwick for six years now. The Shwick markets have been held at several notable locations throughout New York City including, but not limited to, the House of Yes, an old lingerie store in SoHo and the Williamsburg Savings Bank.
