Our Story

After the sudden death of the scene, Ryan Matthew Cohn and Regina Marie Cohn realized that the odd culture of Brooklyn had been lost. They decided to resurrect it at Greenpoint's Brooklyn Bazaar in 2017. Artfully curating a selection of the nation's best artists and collectors, The Oddities Flea Market sprang to life. 

With each passing year, the event expands, welcoming fresh talent. The team plans to take their creation on the road, visiting cities across the country and potentially even globally.
