We’re looking for local makers and artists to join us for our month-long Art Market—a festive, farmer’s market-style shopping experience designed for holiday gift seekers. Held indoors at the Shenandoah Valley Art Center throughout the month of December, the market will showcase high-quality, handmade goods perfect for the season.
Details:
Each artist will be assigned a 6'x6' space, including 6' of wall display area.
Artists are responsible for their own setup, display, pricing, and inventory.
SVAC will handle all sales and collect payments on your behalf.
A $100 participation fee and 30% commission on sales will apply.
All work must be handmade by the participating artist—no imports, kits, or mass-produced items.
Space is limited, and selection will be curated to ensure a diverse and high-quality market.
Whether you’re a ceramicist, jeweler, woodworker, fiber artist, printmaker—or something totally unique—we want to hear from you.
*PLEASE NOTE: we will still be having our Winter Market event in the flagship building for the entire holiday season.
