What does MPT stand for?

How did it all begin?

Marketplace Talent originated from a straightforward realization as our business expanded: We couldn't satisfy every customer's needs alone. We envisioned creating something more significant—an inclusive space where skilled artists and clients could connect to bring extraordinary events to life.

Our mission

Our mission is to simplify your search for an artist. We do this by offering you a swipe friendly experience, to browse until something feels right, rather than endlessly searching through companies and artists on instagram and google. We also strive to support artists in building and maintaining their own independent careers. Out of respect for the diverse range of artists and their varying levels of expertise in the market, we choose not to impose fixed prices on our site. Instead, we invite artists to include a price range in their descriptions as a starting point. This approach can be an excellent way to give you a helpful ballpark figure to start with. With over 25+ years of experience in the industry, we also understand that event work should be quote based, as each celebration is unique, with its own specific needs for setup, travel, preparation, practice, assistance, materials, and communication. Don't hesitate to reach out for a quote! Artists will not pressure you for a sale. Once an artist sends you a quote, all you need to do is agree to it, and you’ll be all set to move forward and secure your booking.

“I began poking around on the MPT and, lo and behold, discovered an incredible caricature artist practically in my backyard! Before this eureka moment, I’d been scrolling through faceless directories, eyeing artists miles away, all wanting hefty travel fees.”
