Holiday Market "Call for Artists"

 Even though Summer is in full swing, it's time to think about Holiday Market 2023!

Each Year Holiday Market is full of unique, artist-made gifts, including wall art, pottery, jewelry, wearables, children's gifts, cards, decor, and so much more! 

Holiday Market runs Tuesdays thru Sundays for over 5 weeks starting just before Thanksgiving until December 23! There is a nominal charge to apply Holiday Market, and entries are juried.

We are open to all gift items, and this year we are looking to expand our selection in some specific areas:

1) Holiday themed items, we celebrate all of the winter holidays here at the Anton Art Center.

2) Garden Art in glass, metal, wood, etc. We can display even large pieces during Holiday Market.

3) Gifts for men. We have plenty of gifts for women and kids, but not so much for sometimes hard-to-buy-for men.

4) Gift/Decore items in glass, metal, and wood.

If you are an artist with something unique to offer, apply for the opportunity to participate in this year's Holiday Market, please contact Nancy at artmarket@theartcenter.org  We will send you our Holiday Market "Call for Artists" application form. 

Artist of the Month for July

The Art Market "Artist of the Month" for July is jewelry designer Maria Silamianos. 

"Being an artist is an obsession, and the jewelry I create is a labor of love.  Each piece I design is made with genuine stones and many pieces will not be duplicated.  The jewelry, like the person who wears the piece is unique, and should we worn and appreciated.  

It's incredibly important to me the materials used are high quality, I do not make costume jewelry. I make jewelry made with freshwater pearls (FWP), semi-precious stones, sterling silver, crystals and more."
