Westwood Artists To Hold Fourth Annual December Marketplace
Taking place during the first Westwood Weekend Stroll, this event offers everything from paintings and pottery, to chocolate.
As part of Westwood’s inaugural Weekend Stroll, Westwood Artists will hold their 4th annual December Marketplace on December 6th and 7th at the Historical Society’s Fisher School. The Fisher School is at 830 High Street in Westwood, MA. It is across from St. Margaret Mary's Church and next to Thurston Middle School. Friday’s hours will be 3:30 - 7:00 PM and Saturday’s from 10:00am – 3:00pm.
The December Marketplace will feature a variety of products, including pottery by Jane Wojick, photography by Karen Flowers Cagan*, watercolor and mixed media by Carol Ahearn, knitting and weaving by Kathy Zola, pottery by Lisa WB Walker, jewelry and photography by Melanie Guerra, oil painting by Maureen Obey, Welsh cakes from Copper Kettle Bakery**, Westwood’s own Whim chocolate, fused glass jewelry by Marilyn Brier, blown glass by Kevin Becker, and bird feeders from the Fox Hill Garden Club.
This event culminates a year of visual arts and professional development activities within the Westwood community by Westwood Artists. The Westwood Public Library hosted a gallery show during the month of March and a Digital Marketing for Creative Entrepreneurs presentation by Tricia White from the Norwood Space Center. As part of ArtWeek last spring, Westwood Artists participated in the Radiant Westwood event organized by the Westwood Media Center. September brought Westwood Day and another workshop by Tricia White. This workshop focused on using Facebook as a marketing and branding tool.
