Where Weird is Welcome

Market for the Strange was created to make space for the growing alternative art scene around Salem, Oregon. A place where the unusual is welcome, where the odd ones fit in, and where visitors can walk away with a little bit of the unexpected.

A community Market for the strange side of Oregon

We host a monthly pop-up art market in western Oregon. We alternate event locations between Salem and surrounding cities.

A place to be you
Gothic leathers? Witchy outfits? Characterful costumes? Whatever your vibe is, we're happy to help you celebrate it. Many of our visitors show up to show off their strange fashions, so don't hesitate to pull that special getup out of your closet and show us what you've got!

Upcoming Events

Then crawl upstairs to the ballroom for our adult-only night market full of strange art treasures you can take to the grave, sweet treats to satisfy your cravings, and new tattoos designs that are sure to scratch the itch.
