The 11th annual Artisan Market at Hornbaker Gardens will take place on Saturday, September 14 from 10am to 4pm. The artists and the live music stage are set up in the parkway area of the garden center, including a new location for some artists across from the parkway entrance. The art market will welcome 40 fine artists selling their original work in mediums including jewelry, pottery, painting, fiber, gourd art, mosaics, mixed media, metal, photography, leather, woodworking, and glass.
The plans for the day include many delicious food and drink options. There will be August Hill wine, craft beer, the Cows Coffee trailer, and fresh-picked local produce from Hungry World Farm. Brakers’ Dozen, Ms. Mint's Pop Shop, Sisler’s Ice Cream, and Emerlian Bakery will have sweet treats. Lunch options will be available from Naiho’s Eggrolls and More, Philly Factory, Wild Ginger Bistro, and Tony’s Tacos.
A popular interactive art experience will be back again this year. Market guests can contribute to the creation of a mosaic mural titled “Awakenings” and designed by Princeton, Illinois artist Sallee Zearing. Participants will receive a pattern, a blank square, and everything needed to complete their small artwork. The mural will come together piece-by-piece throughout the day and be installed at the garden center. Be sure to check out last year’s completed mural hanging on the side of our machine shop under the big osage pergola.
We truly enjoy this opportunity to host fine artists at our gardens and encourage you to come out and support the arts. Many of the artists can take a credit card, but for some it’s helpful if you bring cash. Stay up to date on all the details by following the Artisan Market at Hornbaker Gardens Facebook page.
