Join us at Artspace for our Second Annual Holiday Market and Fundraiser!!
Our Holiday Market and Fundraiser will bring together artists, art-enthusiasts, and community members to celebrate local arts and ring in the holiday season!
In alignment with our core values at Artspace, this event will provide artists at varying stages of their careers an accessible opportunity for showcasing their work and fostering new networking and community connections. This event will also raise funds for our Maker Space, which is used to provide accessible arts programming now and into the future!
Event Description:
This event will take place over TWO days:
On Friday December 1st from 6PM-10PM, Artspace will transform into a welcoming and cozy night market, offering a warm place to stop, shop, and enjoy a hot apple cider for First Friday Art Crawl.
On Saturday December 2nd, the market will continue from 12AM - 4PM! On this day, we will ALSO have a free art-making drop in from 12-4 in our new Maker Space. Stop by and make a print with one of our new mini etching presses!
