It’s never too early to get a jump on your holiday shopping, and the 6th annual Harvest Art Market is the perfect place to begin.
The free event will take place Saturday, Oct. 12, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Silver Maples of Chelsea, 100 Silver Maples Dr. so bring your gift list and get shopping.
“The Harvest Art Market has grown and evolved over the past six years,” said Shawn Personke, director of wellness and public relations for Silver Maples. “But we’ve stayed true to our original thought that we wanted the show to offer really interesting items, handmade, and fair prices. So that’s the kind of artist we welcome and who finds the most success.”
This year’s show features six new artists, including the funky repurposed zipper art from the Zipper Lady, Heather Merritt, ironsmith Russ Shackson from Webberville, ceramic artisan tiles from Julie Cohen of Ann Arbor, Chelsea’s own Lindsey Dahl, John Knapp’s frames and vintage art, and the Mad Potters from Lambertville.
The show also features entertainment by the Allegro Winds at 11 a.m. and jazz/folk guitarist John Latini at 1 p.m.
A bake sale by the Silver Maples heritage bakers will benefit the Resident Council Scholarship Fund.
