About the Art and Gift Market

​

This is the 17th annual Art and Gift Market. It began as a way to give local artisans a place to share their handcrafted work with the public. Since then, it has grown into a highly anticipated annual event where visitors can meet artists, support their work, and find unique handmade gifts—for loved ones or for themselves. Market organizers carefully select artists whose distinctive styles and well-developed skills will connect with an audience that values original, artisan-made pieces.
