Call for Artisans
The West Windsor Arts Council is seeking handmade whimsical or functional objects created by Makers for its Off the Wall Holiday Market. The Holiday Market will take place in the gallery with holiday tents and lots of cheer to welcome customers. The focus is on you, the Maker: your story, what makes your process unique, the history of your craft, your sustainable practices, and any other aspect of your business that helps customers understand who you are.
This open call is dedicated to artisans looking to sell handcrafted pieces. There is a separate open call for artists looking to submit 2-D visual artwork or sculptures at westwindsorarts.org/exhibition/call-to-artists-for-holiday-art-show.
In-person market dates will be on Saturdays and Sundays, November 18 and 19, and December 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, and 17. Time each day will be from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. The online store will be open 24/7. There is a rolling entry throughout the summer with a final deadline on Tuesday, September 5.
