The Bazaar organizer Sarah Mains in the space in downtown Bingen.
Kirby Neumann-Rea photoA unique pop-up holiday cooperative is in place in Bingen, at 115 W. Steuben Ave.
Entrepreneur and dance instructor Sarah Mains and her sister, Lisa, invited more than 30 local artists to present their creations at The Bazaar, which opened in early December.
The previously-vacant commercial space is large enough that all the tables and booths are spread out. Shoppers, while required to masks, can enjoy adequate social distancing.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday, through Dec. 24; watch The Bazaar Facebook page for updates on hours. Mains said she is hoping to continue to operate the spacious room next year as a dance studio and community space.

Select vendors are taking turns giving talks on their products or services, including a recent presentation by herbal tincture maker Heath Kowalewski.
These are the artists and crafters at The Bazaar:
