The Spring Artisan Market, presented by The Wake Forest Guild of Artists, ARTS Wake Forest and Wake Forest Downtown Inc., will be held outdoors along South White Street on Saturday, April 24, 2021, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The event will feature more than 40 artisans who specialize in a variety of works including painting, printmaking, 2-D art, photography, candle making, ceramics, needlework, home decor, jewelry, edibles and more. Visitors can view the art in each booth and show their support by purchasing items.
“Offering a safe outdoor space for our artists to display their local handcrafted items and the public to browse and buy is important during a year when most art festivals and events have been canceled,” said Jeanne Steck, Wake Forest Guild of Artists president. “We are thrilled to share our art with the greater Wake Forest community.”
Art will be displayed in private parking lots and along sidewalks on South White Street in Wake Forest from Elm to East Owen Avenue. Artist booths will be set up 10 feet apart in compliance with social distancing guidelines, and face coverings will be required for vendors and visitors. Additionally, handwashing stations will be established throughout the area along with portable bathrooms.
Visitors can also participate in a 50/50 raffle for $1 per ticket and a chance to win half of the total. Tickets will be sold in the ARTS Wake Forest booth. Half of the raffle ticket sales will go to the winning ticketholder with the other half split between two nonprofits–Wake Forest Boys and Girls Club and ARTS Wake Forest.
No additional booth registrations are being accepted for artists.
While downtown, visitors are encouraged to stop by the many shops and restaurants that will be open that day.
