About Artists & Fleas 

Artists & Fleas in Venice is located in the vibrant, artistic heart of Venice at the corner of Abbot Kinney and Westminster Avenue in the outdoor lot of Westminster Avenue Elementary School. Join 50+ merchants every Saturday (rain or shine!) for a fabulous lineup of art, home decor, food trucks and vintage. Artists & Fleas is a marketplace of makers — tastemakers, experience creators, designers, collectors and curators.

It's a time to think globally but act locally, to champion the small businesses that serve as the lifeblood of our neighborhoods and communities.

We're fueling dreams, nurturing aspirations, and laying the foundation for a stronger tomorrow.
