The Summer is still YOUNG...
One month of summer down, two more to go for most students and Hoosiers for all intents and purposes. The summer, to these individuals, seems to be coming to a quick close. The City Market, on the other hand, is ready to celebrate summer up until the very last possible moment. With the Grand Opening Week over and behind us, the City Market has a brand new look and feel that everyone's talking about.
With all the buzz behind the Market, 222 East Market Street is proving to be one of Indy's newest hot spots! The first ever Indy Arts Market was clearly a success with different artists from across the area filling Whistler Plaza. The Market stayed busy until the artists packed up shop for the day. As a community center, the City Market will run the Indy Arts Market on a continual basis to keep Indy introduced to local art and local music.
The Market isn't just hosting Indy Arts Market this summer, the event calendar is jam-packed with exciting concerts, kitchen demonstrations and of course our award winning Farmer's Markets.

Top 10 Reasons to Support Fair Trade
1. Fair Trade means fair pay and working conditions for farmers and producers. Fair Trade products are made in safe and healthy working conditions, where farmers and producers receive a fair price and have a voice in how their workplace is run.
2. Fair Trade is better for the environment. Fair Trade supports sustainable practices that minimize our environmental footprint.
3. Fair Trade means high quality goods. Artisans take pride in their work. Crafts are often handmade, which translates into closer attention to detail and in the end higher-quality products.
4. Fair Trade means better tasting food. Farmers are involved and invested in the entire production process, and crops are grown and harvested in smaller quantities. As a result, Fair Trade food is fresher and tastier.
5. Fair Trade is safe. Fair Trade actively promotes integrated farm management systems that improve soil fertility and preserve valuable ecosystems, and limit the use of harmful agrochemicals that present dangers to farmers’ health. That means food that’s safer for you and for the people who grow it.
6. Fair Trade supports communities. By working through cooperative structures, Fair Trade artisans and small farmers are able to invest Fair Trade earning in their communities, improving housing, healthcare, and schools.
7. Fair Trade is trade farmers can count on. Fair Trade is committed to strengthening direct partnerships between buyers and producers. These partnerships provide an avenue for buyers to purchase quality products from people they trust, and offer a sustainable and reliable way for farmers, artisans and their families to improve their livelihood.
8. Fair Trade connects you with other cultures. Fair Trade products are unique to the places they come from and the people who make them. Farmers and artisans are involved in the entire process, and Fair Trade products reflect the people and cultures they come from.
9. Fair Trade means sustainable local economies. Fair Trade gives farmers and artisans control of their own future. They can build their own businesses, rather than working for a middleman, and the profits stay in their communities and go back into their businesses.
10. Fair Trade means what you buy matters. By choosing Fair Trade products, you are not only accessing high quality products, you are making a difference in the lives of the people who grow the food you eat and the goods you use.

Trade Fairly at Dianbaar
Dianbaar opened shop in the City Market in early December of 2007, offering a different and unique type of product to the City Market customers. Dianbaar, owned and operated by Cherif and Kimberly Ba, features fair trade and recycled gifts from Africa.
The Ba’s began selling art for friends of Cherif Ba, a native of Senegal in Africa. As they continued to do this, they decided it was important and beneficial to the local and African communities to support free trade. Upon opening Dianbaar at the City Market, they introduced the Indianapolis community to custom-made African art and the idea of fair trade.
“The neat thing about fair trade and what we do is that each piece we sell has its own story. Most of our items are primarily made by women, but each gift represents a story of a community that we are choosing to support by making these items available to purchase here,” says Kimberly Ba.
Dianbaar is unique in that it offers the opportunity to African individuals to produce and sell their art for living wages so they can support their families. Fair trade also fights against child labor and supports sustainable practices that minimize our environmental footprint.
The Ba’s purchase all of their art from the Fair Trade Federation. The FTF certifies that all artists adhere to strict environmental conditions, not harming or polluting the environment. Dianbaar was certified by Co-Op America in April, making them a part of the National Green Pages. This honor certifies that they are a business socially and environmentally friendly.
Dianbaar supports a dozen communities in Africa and local charities. Dianbaar donates a portion of sales to Gleaner’s Food Bank and Cobert Place, both local charities, supporting the Indianapolis area. Dianbaar is not only supporting local and distant communities, but it is also giving Indianapolis natives an opportunity to connect with different cultures right in the heart of its historic City Market.

Over 100 Years of Local Italian Tradition
City Market has been a part of Indianapolis since 1823, since it was originally platted along Market Street. Farmers began selling meat and produce at the market in 1833, and the heirs of one of those first-time vendors is back inside the Market House again selling fresh produce, cheese and preparing traditional Italian dishes.
Constantino’s Market Place re-opened its fresh produce market in November and expanded its produce into a full Italian deli in December. Sisters, Antonia and Concetta Mascari are great-granddaughters of the original owners of the Constantino’s Market Place.
“We feel a great connection to this community and wanted to carry on the family tradition to honor them, and celebrate our family’s heritage,” said Antonia.
Constantino’s Market Place brings organic produce, meats, a bakery, and Italian specialty items to the City Market, introducing Indianapolis to something extraordinary in quality and taste. Constantino’s prides itself in giving excellent customer service, going above and beyond for any of its many customers. It also believes in having the utmost quality in all the items sold.
The mission of Constantino’s Market Place is to create an exciting, innovative, and neighborly fresh and prepared foods destination that impacts consumer senses, builds customer value through the attributes of friendship and education, and promotes healthy living.
Market Place becomes a feast for the senses in the City Market’s open-air atmosphere as the colors and aroma of fresh produce, meats and cheeses fill the air. The store prides itself in having a shopper friendly atmosphere and an accommodating staff on hand to answer all questions.
Constantino’s is among about a dozen new merchants, who have opened at City Market since the renovation of the market was completed in late 2007. Constantino’s continues to grow and become an even more prominent part of the City Market.
