More than 60 established visual artists have been juried into the Ithaca Artists’ Market to showcase and sell some of the best art in the region.
Visitors to the market will have the special opportunity to meet and talk with all these artists in one place and to buy works of all shapes, sizes, and disciplines: paintings, prints, photographs, functional work, sculpture, stained glass, flame-worked glass, collage, fiber art and digital work.
Prices for the art will range from $5 to $500, but attendance to the market is free!

In addition to the visual artists, 12 Tompkins County arts organizations will have booths, giving the public a chance to learn about their mission, and maybe get a sneak preview of their upcoming events!
The remaining booths will feature food vendors offering everything from full meals to desserts, chocolate, and wine tastings. Music will set the mood all day long. The East Hill Duo (Johnny Russo on horn and Doug Robinson on guitar) and the Brian Earle Duo will jazz up each end of the market with live performances throughout the event.
