A SIGNATURE CHRISTMAS: indoor artist market

The LAC presents its annual indoor Christmas Arts & Crafts show, open to all artists and artisans in any medium; photography, painting, jewelry, literary arts, crafts, woodworking, glasswork, metal, pottery and more... Exhibit and sell your work directly inside our beautiful galleries during this month long “gift shop” style exhibition that fills the entire main floor galleries.

HOW IT WORKS

Participating artisans will be assigned 10-12ft wide wall space, approx. by 5-6ft deep of floor space in the LAC galleries to set up, display and sell their works in a large “storefront/market” style, month-long indoor artist market.

Artists displays may include, but are not limited to: original 2D and 3D arts and crafts, greeting card racks, prints and stands, jewelry displays, mannequins, shelving, easels, signs, and all that are necessary to adequately create a sales display. Bring everything you need to create your space, dress it up to your style, brand and atmosphere. Make your own storefront shop, with price tags on all items just like an art in the park, only indoors and for a month. And the best part is, LAC staff will manage all artisan shops, answer visitor questions and handle all sales. Artisans do not need to be present during the show and are only required to set up their shop, then pack up at the end of the show. Artisans may add to or change displays provided the inventory list is updated.
