My friend Nannette deCillis, director of ArtsCetera, a center for arts and art-related activities for children and adults, has once again organized a great neighborhood event. Starting this Saturday through the holiday season, she will host a series of pop-up markets featuring local artisans, mostly from the Etsy community. Sounds like great fun and a super opportunity for all those who like to get their holiday sopping done early.
Read on:
On Sunday, November 7th, from 11am to 6 pm, at 212 Smith Street, ArtsCetera’s child-centric Cobble Hill studio will transform into a weekend storefront market for holiday shopping, featuring goods from a diverse group of local artisans and entrepreneurs.
We’re thrilled that many of the designers who will be featured throughout the season come from the local Etsy community and The {NewNew}, a vibrant collective of indie Etsy artisans in the NY Metro area.
With handmade clothing for men, women and children, jewelry, accessories and items for the home and well-being, as well as books, CDs and gifts for kids, the Pop-Up Shop will run Saturdays and Sundays through December 19th. Each weekend will feature both new and returning vendors, so shoppers will always find something fresh to see at the Pop-Up Shop. Each weekend’s line-up will be posted at our website.
The opening includes refreshments, a child-friendly area so kids can play while parents shop and a raffle of gifts donated from our vendors to benefit ArtsCetera’s Neighborhood Arts Partner, The Early Childhood Programs of the Lutheran Family Health Centers.
