Maryville Marketplace

About

Maryville Marketplace is a monthly campus tradition that brings together students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members to showcase their talents, businesses, creative works, research, and entrepreneurial ventures. More than a marketplace, it is a vibrant gathering that celebrates innovation, creativity, and collaboration while creating meaningful opportunities to connect across the Maryville community.

The Marketplace provides aspiring entrepreneurs, artists, makers, and creators with a platform to share their products and ideas, develop professional skills, and engage with potential customers and collaborators. Through partnerships with academic schools - particularly programs in business, entrepreneurship, art and design, communication, and hospitality -Maryville Marketplace serves as a living-learning environment where classroom knowledge meets real-world experience.

By fostering community, opportunity, and engagement, Maryville Marketplace strengthens campus connections, supports experiential learning, promotes local businesses and student entrepreneurs, and contributes to a vibrant, inclusive campus culture where everyone has the opportunity to learn, lead, and thrive.
