The first Sunday of the month throughout the summer and early fall we welcome artists to take over the museum in Avondale for the afternoon, transforming the space into a community market where artists demonstrate and explain how they create their art or products. We highlight artists and artisans working in both traditional and contemporary methods, with different mediums being showcased each month.
