Looking to get some holiday shopping done this weekend, but want to avoid the mania of the mall? The Art Vs Craft fair is being held from 10 a.m. Saturday at the Humphry Scottish Rites Masonic Center at 790 N. Van Buren.
What is it? It's an annual DIY (Do It Yourself) indie craft market, established in 2004, where crafters and artists gather to sell their wares to an adoring public. It's a juried event, showcasing more than 50 emerging artists working in a variety of mediums.
The customer benefits by retail therapy of a meaningful nature (unique hand-made gifts), the artists and crafters benefit from the exposure and sales, and the city benefits because we all know: local money stays local.
The first 200 shoppers on the scene receive a free swag bag. Here's where you get the low-down.
