The Artspace 304 Winter Market takes place at the newly renovated building on the Carbondale Strip. The holiday-themed market showcases artists and their handmade crafts, paintings, jewelry, and more.
Special events like artist meet-and-greets, trunk shows, and more are planned for the shop this year.
Douglas Tippie, a retail professional from Chicago, is heading the Winter Market for the first time this year. He said, "As a board member for an arts organization in Chicago, I developed a deep appreciation for the importance of the arts. This position combines my two passions and is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
The Winter Market at 607 South Illinois Avenue opens today and will be open through the holidays. Regular hours are Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
