DID YOU KNOW?

The Christmas Markt is DC’s longest running and largest incubator of local small-scale manufacturers. Over 1,000 local makers have utilized the markt as an important growth point in their business’s trajectory. Christmas Markt proceeds fund a year of activities for the museum’s Urban Manufacturing Incubator program.

In 2024 the Heurich Urban Manufacturing Incubator:

  • Helped found and manage the new DC Makers’ Guild, unifying over 100 local small makers to create a business environment which allows the industry to continue to grow and flourish.
  • Hosted markets at no cost to maker vendors, and planned a series of free educational programs for new makers, supporting the stability of over 100 businesses.
  • Created new revenue generating opportunities for makers by allowing them to utilize the museum to host workshops with the public.
  • Supported a full-time Incubator Program Director.

The Museum’s Urban Manufacturer Incubator program builds upon the 130 year legacy of craftspeople and makers at the Heurich House – those who designed, built, and decorated the historic home, and those who the museum has helped to elevate over the last decade.
