More than 40 artisans showing one-of-akind
works in fine arts and crafts will be featured
at the first Holiday Art Fair on Saturday
and Sunday, Nov. 14 and 15 at the National
Museum of Dance, 99 South Broadway in
Saratoga Springs.
The event will run 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday
and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Juried
exhibitors specializing in painting, sculpture,
wood, wearable and decorative fiber, glass,
ceramics, and art jewelry will share their
talents at the event.
Admission to the family friendly Art Fair
is free. The event is based on the success of
the summer Saratoga Art Celebration, also
hosted at the Dance Museum. The weekend
offers quality art, fun educational activities
for children and adults, local cuisine, and live
music and dance performances.
In addition to showing their work, the
exhibiting artists will be available on site
to share their artistic process with patrons.
There will demonstrations, hands-on art
projects and complimentary art supplies
available for inspired children and adults to
enjoy throughout the weekend event.
“The Holiday Art Fair is special because it
showcases such a wide variety of work from
so many highly-skilled artisans, but also because
visitors have an opportunity to learn
from the artists directly, about their creative
process,” said Sue Brown Gordon, the art
fair director. “Here you can become inspired
as well as find a special gift or something
unique for your home. The Art Fair is a great
opportunity for visitors to enjoy a beautiful
art event all in the splendor of the museum’s
ambiance.”
