More than just a shopping event, this market is a fundraiser that directly supports our mission: to uplift artists, foster creativity, and make the arts accessible to everyone in our community.

For artists, the market is a platform to share your work with new audiences, connect with fellow art makers, and be part of a collective celebration of art. Your participation helps strengthen the local creative economy.

For our community, the market offers the chance to shop local, discover one-of-a-kind gifts, and experience the vibrancy of our regional arts scene. Every purchase supports an artist and contributes to the sustainability of programs at The Arts Center — all ages in our community experience art education classes and workshops, gallery art exhibitions and performances, either free or affordable.
