Lubeznik Center for the Arts (LCA) invites the public for the opening of their annual Holiday Artisan Market on Saturday, November 11 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central.
The Gallery Shop will expand into LCA's main lobby through Jan. 5 to accommodate thousands of unique items for the holiday season. Shop for handmade items perfect for holiday gift-giving, including offerings from over 60+ local and regional artists.
The market is open during regular LCA hours and during events.
One local artist participating in the Holiday Artisan Market is Dale Nichols. Nichols is the maker of beautiful, hand-crafted wood products. Dale took up wood working a few years ago and has three lines of products; a series of end-grain charcuterie boards and trivets, differently patterned maple and hickory hardwood cutting boards and stained wood products made of New Zealand pine, including a menorah, five piece candle stick sets and matching trivets that are finished with multiple coats of a food-safe shellac.
Also participating is Michigan based artist Emily Garcia. Garcia is the owner of Retro Rose Designs, and hand makes ceramics inspired by nature and animals.
During the Holiday Artisan Market, join LCA for a Ladies Sip & Shop day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central on Sunday, Dec. 10. Everyone is welcome, guys too, to enjoy a day of shopping with free mimosas and snacks. Local vendors, Rita Cochran, Brising Designs, Marlaina Mathisen, Geralyn Salas and Line Mullins Group Interior will be onsite with a “trunk” of special goodies to help you pick the perfect items.
One of the many benefits of an LCA membership is saving 10% on Gallery Shop purchases all year round, including during the Market, while supporting LCA’s mission of making art accessible to all. Please consider a membership to LCA; you can sign up at the Holiday Artisan Market.
