It is nearing time for Iowa City's annual East Side Artist Holiday Show and Sale, just in time for anyone wanting to buy any last minute Christmas gifts for any people that are left on their list.
23 local artists will meet this coming weekend to show their arts and crafts at the East Side Artist Holiday Show and Sale in Iowa City. The work will range from paintings and photography to scarves and homemade wood crafts. There is literally something for everyone, and every item is handmade.
The East Side Holiday Show and Sale is a place where local artists can bring their artwork and homemade crafts to show to visitors and sell to them as well. It has been held every year for nearly two decades.
This is the 19th year the show has been running. Some of the artists have been using this show as a place to sell their work for over a decade and nearing two. Other artists are attending the show this year for the very first time.
The show started with just a small group of artists, but has become increasingly popular for art lovers and shoppers as well as the artists themselves. Artists from outside of Iowa City are now attending the show.
This is a great opportunity to not only find last minute gift ideas, but also to see and support local artists.
The show begins at 10 a.m. this coming Friday and runs through Sunday afternoon to give everyone the opportunity to visit.
