Get Artistic for the Holidays with the Marblehead Arts Association

Instead of heading to the malls for the holidays, why not head to the Marblehead Arts Association’s Artisan Fair and Open House this Thursday?

Seventeen artisans will fill the King Hooper Mansion with fine hand crafts for holiday giving. You will also be able to get the first peek at the mansion decorated by the five garden clubs of Marblehead to the theme of “A Seaside Holiday.”

Admission is free and there will be light refreshments. The event takes place from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

From 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., the Marblehead High School singing group Luminescence will be performing.

The King Hooper Mansion is located at 8 Hooper Street.
