December 3, 2024 – December 19, 2024
We are trying something new this year: The Members Holiday Marketplace. As a Robeson Art Guild member, you can have a table with holiday gifts you think our visitors and other members may enjoy giving – or getting, for that matter! Tables will be placed around the Guild House, so visitors can take their time, look around, and learn more about you and the events and opportunities the Guild can offer artists and our vibrant community in Robeson County. If you would like to bring in something to work on while you are here, that would be great!
Marketplace buyers can take their purchase home as soon as the pay for them, so the variety of unique things will constantly change!
How much does this cost, you ask? There is no charge for tables and as usual the Guild will absorb card processing fees. The regular 20% commission applies. As all of the artists are members, the Member discount on purchases does not apply.
We envision the Marketplace as a little different from some of others available for the holidays. We ask that you pick the days and times that work best for you to be on site at the Guild House, to help welcome visitors, share what you do, and, obviously, sell your work! We will have a cashier near the front door, so be prepared to include tags on your items to aid checkout buyers.
You are not limited to our normal Tuesday and Thursday hours, if other times and days work best for you. We would love to see the Guild House open and lively during the Holiday Season. If you can be here, we’ll make sure the Guild House is open, comfortable, with enough company to have fun. We’ll publish the dates and times of the more flexible schedule. Don’t be shy – make those suggestions!
The Marketplace will also tie in well with the Members Holiday Choice Exhibition that runs during the same period and the Christmas with Chef Ingram and RCC Baking and Pastry Arts Students on December 12, when they put on their Christmas with Santa presentation and menu. Lots to see and do! Not least of which is the opportunity visitors will have to vote on their favorite entries in the exhibition… and, of course, their favorite marketplace tables! The awards will be distributed at the Last Quarterly Members Meeting at the Guild House on December 19th, so be sure to plan to come!
