Started out of the love for wearable art by two independent artists eager to create worthwhile events and an integrous platform to expand their brands, SDPPC became the convention made for artists, by artists. No one knows the pin community quite like the pin makers. SDPPC wanted to create a platform for small business owners that were just starting out, internet sensations, or anything in between that was professional, drama free, accountable, and personable. As a nonprofit educational corporation, our goal is to equip artists, expose them to new customers and to connect them with other makers by hosting events at popular and unique local venues. We strive to create a family friendly environment for attendees as well as an encouraging and energetic network of entrepreneurs for our exhibitors to collaborate with and develop lasting relationships. The level of love and passion that goes into each event is something we truly pride ourselves in. Seeing both our attendees and exhibitors having fun and enjoying our events makes every second of our work worthwhile.
