As a brand that embodies a passion for storytelling through photography and illustration, "Obrigados Nos" had the privilege of participating in two local artisan markets recently. These markets provided a unique platform for us to connect with fellow creators, showcase our work, and engage with our audience.
TimeOut Market: Embracing Lisbon's Vibrant Atmosphere
The first market we participated in was the TimeOut market, held in Lisbon. This bustling event attracted a diverse crowd of art enthusiasts, locals, and visitors alike. The vibrant atmosphere set the stage for an exhilarating journey of showcasing our art and connecting with like-minded individuals.
During the TimeOut market, we had the opportunity to exhibit our original illustrations, each inspired by our own original photography. These illustrations serve as a visual diary of the beauty we find while exploring Lisbon and Portugal. By combining our talents as photographers and illustrators, we aim to capture the essence of the country through our artwork.
The TimeOut market allowed us to connect with a diverse group of artists and creators, expanding our understanding of the local market. It was inspiring to witness the creativity and passion that each artisan brought to the table. This collaborative environment allowed us to exchange ideas, learn from one another, and create a community of creative individuals.
Mercado da Vila: A Showcase of Cascais' Vibrant Culture
Not content with merely experiencing the thrill of the TimeOut market, we ventured further west to Cascais to participate in the Mercado da Vila. This market, nestled in the heart of the coastal town, offered a charming and authentically Portuguese atmosphere.
Once again, our illustrations based on original photography took center stage at the Mercado da Vila. We had the opportunity to share our creative vision with a wider audience, including tourists and locals. The positive response we received from our artwork was both humbling and gratifying.
What truly stood out at the Mercado da Vila was the opportunity to engage with our audience. We welcomed curious passersby, discussing our artistic process, and answering questions about our brand. This direct interaction with our audience allowed us to deepen our connections, understand their preferences, and gain valuable insights into how we can improve our offerings.
Launching our Brand: A Journey of Growth and Connection
Participating in local artisan markets has proven to be an invaluable experience for us as founders of "Obrigados Nos." These markets have given us a platform to launch our brand, connect with our audience, and grow our creative community.
Through our participation in these markets, we have witnessed firsthand the power of community and collaboration. The support we have received from other creative individuals has been truly inspiring. It has reminded us that, as creators, we are part of a larger artistic tapestry, each adding our own unique touch to the fabric of creativity.
Embracing Summer Markets: A Continued Journey
As we reflect on the past two weeks, we are confident that participating in local artisan markets will be an integral part of our growth strategy. The positive response we have received from both markets has fueled our determination to continue participating in similar events throughout the summer.
By participating in these markets, we aim to showcase the beauty of Lisbon and Portugal through our photography and illustrations. With each new market we attend, we hope to expand our audience, deepen connections with fellow creators, and inspire others to embrace the beauty of the world around us.
Together, we as "Obrigados Nos" celebrate the joy of discovery, the beauty of connection, and the power of creativity. 🌍🎨✨
