Our group will be traveling out to Lockhart Texas this Friday evening and Saturday for the ‘Rites of Spring Festival!’ We are really excited about participating in the event and will be a little change of scenery for us.

Last Sunday the Artist’s Market brought 21 artists and a couple of musicians to our new location across from the library by the parking garage. We love the location and despite a little harassment (lol) by code enforcement for our promo activities, we are very happy and visitors give it a thumbs up as well!

We look forward to involving the community including local merchants more and more…

Need Help Choosing the Perfect Handmade Gift? How About a Gift Certificate!

pixieworx — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 02:16:19 +0000

That’s right! The Artist’s Market, right here in Austin, offers gift certificates that can be used towards any purchase with any artist at any weekly Artist’s Market!

If you’re familiar with The Artist’s Market, then you already know we’re a *juried* market, judged by our peers and hold to certain standards of quality. There are no middle men and buyers have the opportunity to meet, and shake the hands of, the artists they support and even get a chance to watch them work. It’s a kid and family friendly environment and what an enjoyable learning experience too!

Representing a variety of art, our artisans’ expertise ranges everything from painting, jewelry and pottery, to decor, fiber art and chainmaille! We have silver smiths, mosaic, glass bead and copper specialists! Not to mention woodcarvers, photographers and our talented musicians who entertain and lighten the atmosphere. And so much more!

Art you can display, art you can use and art you can wear - how cool is that! With a “Uniquely Austin” flair, embracing a variety of modalities and styles from the eclectic to classic, a gift from The Artist’s Market can only be anything but mundane!

If you’re having trouble settling on just one awesome item amongst so many, then why not let your friend or loved one enjoy the shopping experience themselves at The Artist’s Market? Give them a Gift Certificate that can be used toward ANY handmade art they desire! A most excellent of choices!

And pick one up for yourself while you’re at it! You’ll never know when you’re going to wish that you had one too!
