Saturday :
11am - 8:30 pm
Thank you to everyone that patronized the 2011 WITA Artist Market! See you next year!
The Women in the Arts Festival Artist Market features over 30 booths full of women created and inspired art, photography, jewelry, clothing, gifts, sculpture, cards, edible treats, books, music and more.
Walk through and admire the craftswoman-ship and take home a one-of-a-kind item to give as a holiday gift or to help you remember the Festival throughout the year. The festival also offers space for non-profit groups that serve women, a great opportunity to learn more and become involved in your community.
Something new for the 2011 Artist Market: Live Storytelling!

This Teller of Tales and Soul-Scribe beguiles all with her “Star Tales”

“The eyes are the windows to the soul.”
