First Saturday Arts Market December 3
HOUSTON, TEXAS — Houston’s original monthly outdoor art market finishes the year with the annual Holiday Market, Saturday, December 3, 2022, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. at 540 W. 19th St. Over 40 artists from the greater Houston area and Austin are featured in this market.
“Holiday shopping and the promise of cooler weather always maxes out the November and December markets,” market founder and manager Mitch Cohen said.
Cohen, an artist and Heights resident, founded the market in 2004. The market has been on W. 19th St., since 2006 and today stands out as the only monthly, artist curated outdoor market.
“I’ve always been a huge fan of festivals but noticed a lack of regular events just for artists in 2003. So I just started a monthly market myself with the intention of selling my paintings too. My art took a back seat as the market grew in popularity and to this day I am humbled by the support of the Houston community and the artists that attend.”
First Saturday Arts Market has featured dozens of visual artists showcasing their work in the Historic Houston Heights since 2004. Visitors to this free event will find friendly artists with paintings, sculpture, photography, jewelry and many more popular art mediums. There is always a popular food truck on site and local singer/songwriters can often be found providing entertainment at the market.
The MoJo Sisters perform at noon. The duo is Joanna Jetton and Martha White and perform fun, upbeat classic covers and some of the best originals I’ve heard written by White. Jetton cohosts the KPFT Bluegrass Depot, Saturdays 7-10 p.m., with Dalton Harris.

Though Wildlife Photography is my primary genre I enjoy creating something different with various applications. Whether the piece is serious or whimsical my hope is the same. I want the viewer to pause. www.photoswithvision.com
