About this Event

Welcome to the MICA Art Market x Holiday Edition! Get ready to kick off the holiday season with a unique shopping experience featuring original artworks by MICA students, alumni, faculty, and staff. Join us Saturday and Sunday, December 7 & 8 from 11:00-6pm at 1301 W Mt Royal Ave for a weekend of art, crafts, and holiday cheer.

Browse through a diverse selection of handmade goods created by talented MICA artists and makers. Whether you're looking for gifts or treating yourself, you're sure to find something special at this event.

Sponsored by the Ratcliffe Center for Creative Entrepreneurship, this event fosters student entrepreneurship. Sophomore through graduate level students enrolled in a variety of preparatory courses have the opportunity to expand their learning beyond the classroom and gain practical experience in the marketplace. This event empowers students to share their creative work with the public and directly engage with potential clients, customers, and collectors alongside alumni, faculty, and staff doing the same.

Over 100 participants will showcase their work, build peer-to-peer networks, and contribute to MICA scholarships. Artists will sell original creations including handmade ceramics, prints, knit scarves, jewelry, quilted bags, wooden boxes, hand sewn baskets, original paintings, wall art, stickers, cards, and more. Visitors have the opportunity to speak one-on-one with artists and designers about their process, enjoy a festive atmosphere, and support the local creative economy. Shoppers have the chance to discover new works by emerging artists as well as collectibles from seasoned artists leading their respective fields.

Admission is free and open to the public, and free street parking is available. There will be different vendors on different days and the public is encouraged to attend the event on both Saturday and Sunday for the full experience. Don't miss this fun opportunity to connect with creative community, support local small businesses, and invest in emerging artists!
