The Springfield Regional Arts Council (SRAC) is excited to announce the ninth annual “$100 and Under Holiday Art Market” on Friday, December 6, 2024, from 5 to 8 p.m. For the first time, this festive holiday market will take place at Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts, featuring a wide array of handmade items from local artists, each priced at $100 or less—perfect for holiday gifting.
"The $100 & Under Holiday Art Market is an energizing event, celebrating the immense talent in our community by promoting the purchase of art. We are delighted to be partnering with our friends at the Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts to continue this holiday tradition. Buying local art deepens investments in our creative economy and allows artist-entrepreneurs to grow their businesses. Additionally, collecting art should be accessible to everyone. Knowing the price point of the work on display will be $100 or less makes building your own art collection exciting and attainable,” said Leslie Forrester, SRAC Executive Director.
The market will be open from 5 to 8 p.m., coinciding with December's First Friday Art Walk. Free parking is available at Bear Park North Parking Garage, adjacent to Hammons Hall. Attendees can mingle with the artists, shop and enjoy festive refreshments.
In 2023, the event enabled local artists to sell over $19,000 in artwork, doubling the previous year’s total. This year’s event aims to continue that tradition of success while introducing new patrons to Springfield’s rich and vibrant arts community.
