On the Sunday following Thanksgiving, over fifty artists will gather at the Laramie Plains Civic Center (LPCC)’s Artists Sunday Market to showcase their work as Laramie kicks off the holiday shopping season.
This one-day celebration is a national movement created to celebrate the importance of artists within the community serving as valuable drivers of economic and cultural growth. In over 500 participating communities across the United States, Artists Sunday events invite artists of all mediums to share their work and residents to engage with, appreciate, and invest in the arts.
This year, LPCC will host the second annual Artists Sunday market on November 26 in collaboration with Laramie Main Street Alliance’s (LMSA) Small Business Saturday. “We are thrilled to invite Laramie to invest their time and money in the creative community,” LPCC Executive Director Jessica Brauer said.
“This season is a critical time to show up for the locally owned businesses and creative entrepreneurs who bring value to our town through their work. To partner with Downtown Laramie on championing the “Shop Local” mission for this busy weekend of holiday shopping is an exciting opportunity.”
Positioned during the year’s busiest holiday shopping weekend, the event takes place after Black Friday and Small Business Saturday and before Cyber Monday. This year’s market will include a diverse array of vendors selling their work, live music from six local ensembles and soloists, and refreshments from the LPCC’s newly opened Sunshine Coffee. The market will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the LPCC’s South Gym, located off of Custer St.
“We have a full house booked, “ Brauer said, “including everything from handmade jewelry to photography. Whether you’re shopping for a unique gift for a loved one or a new piece of art for your home, this year’s roster won’t disappoint.”
