MACON – McEachern Art Center (the MAC) will bring back a popular program for the holiday season, the Winter Artist Market. The market will take place just before Thanksgiving during the height of holiday shopping season on Saturday, Nov. 23 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
This is the second annual community artist market held at the MAC, opening the gallery up to vendors in Macon and surrounding local cities to both fine artists and crafters looking to sell their goods for the holiday season.
More than 25 vendors will be at the Market selling décor, art, vintage goodies and more. The MAC gives 100% of all sales to the artist and takes no commission, a unique structure that makes art collecting more affordable for patrons and helps artists thrive.
“We are excited to host the second annual Winter Artist Market this year! With some returning vendors and new ones, this market will be a great place to stock up on some festive holiday goodies for everyone,” said MAC Director Johnny Cohen.
Operated by Mercer University, the MAC is located at 332 2nd Street in downtown Macon and is a place to contemplate art with care. Following the Winter Artist Market, a new gallery exhibition titled “Progression,” featuring the archives of Ric Geyer, will open on Dec. 6. Find out more at macmacon.com.
