Art Mart is being held in conjunction with Encinitas Art Night. Guild members who don’t plan to participate in Art Mart are encouraged to bring their friends and family and stop by to visit and also enjoy a Saturday evening of visual art as Encinitas civic and local art galleries swing opens their doors at Art Night Encinitas. The event celebrates the city’s diverse visual art scene at participating locations and is free to the public. Enjoy live music and refreshments at several locations. CLICK HERE for information about Art Night.

Because of our participation in the 2024 MWGBG exhibit at the Community Center (runs through May 7), Guild members are being invited by the Encinitas Arts team to participate in Art Mart at the Center. This event takes place on Saturday, March 9, 5:30-8:30pm, in the banquet hall.

Set-up will begin around 4:30pm. Contact Peggy Blessing by March 6 if you wish to participate (editor@baskets-gourds.com). In addition to bringing basket or gourd related items for sale, participants are welcome to bring something to work on to demonstrate our craft during this two-hour event.

The Community Center is providing the tables, and we are bringing our own table covers. If you intend to bring anything that needs a STAND, please bring your own and note whether or not the stand is included in your sale item. You will conduct your own sales transactions and supply your own tissue paper and bags.
