SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A new event brought alternative arts and crafts to Syracuse on Saturday. The first ever Salt City Urban Art and Craft Market was held at the Case Supply Building on Wyoming Street.

The market showcased 40 local artists who offered unique handmade pieces including everything from jewelry to clothing. Both of the market's organizers have previously lived in New York City and wanted to bring a bit of that urban edge to Central New York.

"We really wanted it to have an urban edge. So part of the downtown feel was really to really make it kind of a little bit grittier, that's why we are having it in a warehouse. And we are having some interesting music choices today. We really looked for things that were different," said Vanessa Rose, co-organizer.

One of the organizers plans to open a store so the "market" can be open all year long.
