Lemon Aid Stand is a virtual market hosted on Instagram that was born out of the need for artist visibility in the face of event cancellations and shop closures due to the COVID-19 crisis. Lemon Aid Stand does not collect fees from their participating vendors, so all of your purchases go to support the artists directly. Shoppers peruse items through Instagram stories and purchase their desired items directly from the artists via Direct Messages. Participating artists are in tagged photos at @lemon_aid_stand.

To shop, view Lemon Aid Stand’s IG stories on Sunday, May 3rd starting at 3 EST / 12 PST to see all of the artists who are participating, and have a virtual market experience, hopefully finding some new artists to admire and support! Then visit the participating artists’ Instagram to shop directly from their stories/ live feeds/ posts. Each artist or maker will tell you how they’d like to process the sale and shipping details.

Stephanie Hatch will go live on Instagram at noon (PST) to give an introduction to her work, and will then post a series of stories listing the items she is offering for sale during the market. If you see something you want, just send her a direct message! Payment is accepted via Venmo (preferred) @ StephanieHatch, or Paypal (stephaniehatchart@gmail.com). All of her listed prices will include free standard US shipping.

During this market Stephanie will be offering special bundles at discounted prices! In the meantime, you’re always welcome to inquire about anything you like in her Instagram feed, or online shop.
