Holiday Markets in Athens
Via an email from my friend Will Eskridge… get mom something your friend made from scratch… what a racket!
Hello all,
The season is upon us and I know you all are looking for inexpensive, yet unique gifts for your loved ones this year. I highly recommend taking a stroll through the various art markets this weekend in Athens. This is all original, local, handmade stuff. I’ll have my booth at a few this season and I’ve got some brand new artwork and housewares from $5 and up.
First: the Railroad Arts District Holiday Art Market at the Chase Park Warehouses on Tracy Street. This Friday, Dec. 4th from 2:00 - 9:00 p.m. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=196654888720&ref=nf
next is: Athens Indie Craftstravaganzaa at the corner of Clayton and Pulaski parking lot (behind the 40 Watt) Saturday, Dec. 5th from 11:00 - 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 6th from noon - 5:00 p.m. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=185819266583&index=1
the other is: 283 Holiday Market and is this Saturday, Dec. 5 from 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=182629426374&index=1
Flicker Theatre and Bar will be hosting one on Saturday, Dec. 19th for last minute shoppers, but I’m still waiting on details for this one. I would really love to see ya’ll out there supporting the community. Give the truly unique gift of art. Save some of your hard earned cash. Save time, gas and stress by avoiding the malls and the risk of being trampled. Take a leisurely stroll with your dog and/or friends through Athens sipping on some hot beverage of your choice perusing the wonderful, affordable and original items handcrafted by the artists in your community. Thank you and Happy Holidays! — will eskridge
