HANDMADE

HANDMADE is an indoor juried craft market organized by Fleisher Art Memorial to promote local vendors and artists. Featuring a wide array of handmade and artisanal items, this annual market is the perfect place to find holiday gifts at a range of prices to accommodate all budgets.

Shoppers can expect quality handmade goods that reflect Fleisher’s offerings, promoting diversity and inclusivity; the event will highlight vendors from El Mercado Cultural program—a unique initiative at Fleisher focusing on the entrepreneurial needs of the Latinx community—as well as a selection of local artists and craftspeople. During the event, Fleisher’s 126th Annual Adult Student Exhibition will also be on display in the galleries, with many works for sale created by their talented community of artists.
