MARTE (Manhattan Artisan Retail & Trade Emporium)—is a weekly upscale flea market taking place at school locations throughout Manhattan. The flea is a collaboration between each school’s Parents Association and Manhattan Media, the leading publisher of community newspapers and Manhattan lifestyle magazines. Each market is free to the public and features new and antique jewelry and furniture, local artists, food vendors, and entertainment. Proceeds from the events directly impact the schools and Parents Association.

Parents Association
Each MARTE is directly sponsored by the host school’s Parents Association. The PA assesses needs for the school and raises funds through the weekend flea markets to meet those goals. The Parents Association also takes an active role in promoting each flea and selling goods at the sponsor table. Many of the vendors at the flea are businesses belonging to PA members.
