Del Ray Artisans' Holiday Market 2015: Save the Dates

Dates: Dec. 4–6, Dec. 11–13, and Dec. 18–20.

Save the dates for the 20th annual Holiday Market at Del Ray Artisans. The market will offer unique fine art and fine crafts from local artists including wall art, botanical, pottery/ceramics, photography, jewelry, cloth, paper crafts, and fused glass.

The Holiday Market is open for the first three weekends in December. There are completely different artists each weekend, so visit us all three weekends! The hours are the same for each weekend: Friday 6–9 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m.–6 p.m.

All weekend shop with the artists and purchase some fundraising items from Del Ray Artisans: poinsettias, 2016 calendars, coloring books for grown-ups, and handcrafted ornaments. Sales from the fundraising items benefit Del Ray Artisans, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote art for the benefit of artists and the community. All Holiday Market artists donate a percentage of their sales to help support Del Ray Artisans’ mission as well.
