Inspire to Gather pop-up shops and events feature local artist, entertainers, crafters, and small business owners selling their hand made goods and services to the Wilmington NC community.  These events are held at our new store location, La Petite Emporium in downtown Wilmington, NC.

La Petite Emporium is a 400 sq. foot space with exposed brick walls, tons of natural light, and exposed duct work located on a cobblestone street running along the Cape Fear River.  It is the perfect space for small pop-up shops, events, workshops, and intimate gatherings.  We are looking for artists, crafters, and small business owners who would like to be a part of these pop-up shops and themed events.
