Artists' Market at the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art

Art is in the air at the Artists’ Market at the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art!  Find your favorite artwork by some 30 local artists inside the comfort and ambience of the Museum. The 2012 Artists’ Market will be held on Saturday, October 13 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, October 14 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art, 600 Klosterman Rd. at the corner of Klosterman and Belcher Roads, Tarpon Springs. Admission to the market and parking are free and the Museum will be open with no charge to visitors both days of the event.


“This is our fifth Artists’ Market,” said Lynn Pierson, Manager of Isabelle’s Museum Store, “and it continues to be the go-to event for finding that unique item as we move into the holiday shopping season.  I think guests will enjoy the great additions we are making to the Market this year, as well.”


Take this special opportunity to browse through all original work including wearable art, paintings, prints and more, while supporting participating local artists, the education mission of the Museum and Isabelle’s Museum Store. Tasty foods from area food truck vendors will be available to satisfy your appetite.  And, new this year, learn about the creative endeavors of local art and cultural groups, which have been invited to share their information, and browse the Art Book Nook which will have a wide range of beautiful, gently used books for sale.
