It might not be immediately obvious to people who are not from the community, but people from the trans community don’t have as many spaces dedicated to them. This artisan bazaar has set out to amend that. The Trans Art Bazaar in New York City is not just a positive and safe space for trans and non-binary people, but it is also a great avenue for queer, especially genderqueer people, to showcase and promote their work.
Trans Art Bazaar Is Back In NYC On July 9
Trans Art Bazaar or TAB is a one-of-its-kind vending space by and for trans and genderqueer people. It takes place at the House of Yes in Brooklyn. This iteration of TAB will be held on the 9th of July, Sunday. It is a great opportunity for genderqueer people to amplify their brand reach.
This particular event has been integral for many queer people to the word out about their brand. It is not only a great space for socialising but also makes sure that queer and trans artists are supported. By providing an avenue for this marginalised community to showcase their talent, TAB empowers them by making them independent.
Especially at a time when discrimination against trans people is growing, such spaces are crucial. The previous edition of TAB was held in the month of April and witnessed a huge success. The upcoming edition is now said to be the biggest edition of TAB yet as it will be a part of Pride Month celebrations.

Celebrate Trans Joy With The Biggest TAB Event Yet
A plethora of trans artists will put their best foot forward, showcasing the best of their art and other paraphernalia. The event will also have raffles and other fun activities that will celebrate trans joy in particular.
The first-ever TAB was held in the month of August last year. The organisers were surprised at the lack of trans-focused spaces and wanted to create a space where genderqueer and trans people could safely sell their wares.
