10″x10″ Art Show and 3rd Saturday Open Studios

The BEST art shows are hosted and curated by artists. With two powerhouse artists like Stäcy Smith and Claire Richards at the helm, I am confident in saying you should not miss this one. You will regret it. Many market artists, including Charlie Hardwick, the man behind those kitties, are featured.

Sam VanBibber, most well known for her stores, “Wear It Again Sam” is onto a new path.  And from what I saw and heard this past Saturday her latest endeavor is a hit already.  Sam sent me this photo just before the show and I know for a fact that a cool pair of earrings and necklace left and then came back later in the day adorning their admiring new owner. Look for Sam next month at market with Amie Krebbs and her wonderful Gournals.  Sam also has her work available online- check out her page on this market website: https://www.firstsaturdayartsmarket.com/Yalest/SamVanBibber
