ArtStart’s annual Holiday Market returns

ArtStart will host its annual Holiday Market from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday Nov, 1 and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2.

 “Shoppers can enjoy delectable baked goods to savor on-site or to take home — donated by the GFWC Rhinelander Woman’s Club, while viewing artisan works by the artists themselves,” organizers said in a press release.

“The Northwoods has a vast and varied artist community,” said Rene Iannarelli, fiber artist and chair of the event. “ArtStart loves to be able to showcase local and regional artists, while offering visitors a wonderful opportunity to purchase unique pieces directly from the artists.”

Available for purchase are unique, hand crafted works including jewelry, pottery, fiber arts, watercolor art, and more. Featured artists include Donna Welhoefer, Kathy Furda, Colleen Ansbaugh, Bill Kingsbury, Toni Bergeon, Nancy Pierce, Johanna Buwalda, Rob Hom, Sarah Thompson, Emma Lapine, Bill McKenzie, and Monti Mayrend.

Holiday wreaths and greens baskets will also be for sale.

Everyone is welcome and there is no admission fee. ArtStart is located at 68 S Stevens Street, Rhinelander. Parking is available in the city lot behind McDonalds. For more information visit artstartrhinelander.org or call 715-362-4328.
