Malden Pop Up gallery Gift Shop is back for a 2nd Year

Malden Pops Up, an initiative run by Malden Creates, LLC, is an ongoing venture designed by a small group of Malden artists and cultural leaders with the goal of infusing Malden's available retail space with temporary doses of arts-and-culture experiences and access to local artistry.

A temporary Gallery Gift Shop offering gifts, art, music, and experiences to Malden and our neighbors. An array of gifted local creators will provide their offerings to be seen and sold, and performers and presenters will enlighten and entertain, helping us come together to celebrate our connections as humans. Some of the artists and artisans are born and bred on the North Shore, and others have come to live here from across the globe. In this space, local is global.

Please join us November 16 - December 24, 2017 at 480 Main Street in Malden.
