"The artists, musicians and writers will be at the sale throughout the day so shoppers will have the opportunity to meet the person that created the work which makes it all the more special."
Visitors to the Holiday Artist Market will also have the opportunity to view and purchase works in the current exhibits in both the Great Hall and Maxwell Room Gallery. The Great Hall exhibit will feature works by photographer Debbie Sorensen and pottery by Kate Harward.
The Maxwell Gallery exhibit will feature paintings by Ken Waddell.
