PRINCETON, NJ — With the Holiday season here, there’s no better way to shop than going local and supporting artists and artisans, and finding unique gifts.

The West Windsor Arts Council is hosting the Off The Wall Holiday Market — a market featuring a curated selection of unique gifts by local artists and artisans and original artwork that shoppers can take right off the wall. The market is now open at two locations - West Windsor Arts in Princeton Junction, and its satellite gallery at Whole World Arts at the Princeton MarketFair Shopping Center.
