Join us for the 56th Annual Market Days! Market Days is one of the Southeast’s largest and best-juried arts and crafts shows, featuring the unique, handmade creations of over 300 artists and top-quality artisans and craftspeople. Market Days offers a beautiful array of works in various price ranges, from breathtaking fine art to charming stocking stuffers. The works include fine arts, ceramics, country furniture, stained glass, woodwork, glasswork, dolls, clocks, pottery, jewelry, sculpture, metalwork, clothing, photography, and calligraphy. This event is volunteer-run and all proceeds go to support the Tallahassee Museum whose mission is to inspire people to transform their lives, community, and the world through an enhanced understanding of our region's natural and cultural environments. Market Days is presented by the Tallahassee Democrat and benefits the Tallahassee Museum. Early Bird Shopping tickets can be purchased online, at the Tallahassee Museum, or at My Favorite Things in Tallahassee.
This year's feature artists include Karen Furness of Nativity Scenes in Seashell Art from Jacksonville and Jim Wilson of Wildlife Drawings from Gainesville. Karen's seashell nativity scenes were inspired by walks along Florida beaches and her faith. Jim specializes in "drawing wildlife of any kind from insects to elephants" and his images are utilized for book covers, national veterinary conferences, a 2022 51st edition wildlife calendar, and everything from note cards and framed prints to t-shirts and medical scrub tops.
