Southwest Emporium (SE) is a locally-owned and operated multi-vendor enterprise marketplace for local creative minds and talents. Our vision is to cultivate and promote such creativity and talent by providing a unique environment to both entrepreneurs and customers who appreciate antiques, artsy gifts, quaint keepsakes, organic eats and much, much more! Our goal is to offer Sierra Vista and surrounding communities a gathering place to experience homemade fun, food and fantastic buys in an intimate marketplace environment.

 

SE has partnered with Events 161 to present a Princess Room and Balloon Room that are available for selfie style photo sessions. The rooms will be ready to host a full range of events, ceremonies, parties or any gathering for 30 attendees or less starting Friday, July 22, 2022. Come and check them out - you will be amazed at the attention to detail expended by SE’s artisans! Another focal point will be the Victorian Doll House Room owned by Semper Fi Antiques – you will witness the infusion of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values in the composition and arrangement of elements outside and inside this room!

Pop‐up vendor space, consignment space, vendor counter space and vendor room space is still available to crafts entrepreneurs – but hurry, they are going fast!
