Fishers Arts Council is bringing back their Small Business Saturday and Winter Wonderland events from 2018 and 2019 thanks to a grant they received this year. The purpose of these events is to provide artistic demonstrations to the public so that they can learn about and create their own visual art. By showcasing the Artists’ talents while they demonstrate/perform their skills, they hope this inspires community members to create their own art and experiment in various mediums. FAC is looking for Artists/Artisans who work in all mediums and genres, including, but not limited to, woodworking, glassblowing, printmaking, quilting, weaving, stained glass, painting in various mediums, drawing, pottery/ceramics, metalsmith/jewelry, and small-scale sculpting. The most important aspect is that the artist’s medium must be able to be demonstrated, in some fashion, while indoors at an 8’ table (or in the same relative space).

EVENT DATES: November 28, 2020 1pm-6pm & December 5, 2020 3pm-8pm
