EMMAUS, Pa. – Just in time for holiday shopping, an inaugural market will feature unique, hand-crafted jewelry, paintings, pillows, scarves, ornaments, greeting cards, and more from Lehigh Valley artists and creators.
JuxtaHub, a Lehigh Valley-based creative arts and innovation center, will debut its first Resident Artist Holiday Market on Tuesday, Nov. 10, during its free monthly JuxTuesday open house from 6 to 8 p.m.
The market, running through Dec. 19, will operate in JuxtaHub’s first-floor Main Gallery, 375 South 10th St., Emmaus. Admission is free.
All market items are made by JuxtaHub’s resident artists and creators, including painters, printmakers, fiber artists, jewelry makers, and metalworkers, who have studios in the building.
Shoppers will be able to browse a wide array of unique pieces, including original oil, acrylic, and pastel paintings, along with matted watercolor, framed prints, handmade ornaments, pillows, scarves, earrings and hair accessories, greeting cards, stickers and magnets.
Prices start at $5.
“Our resident artists are in their studios all year long, painting, printing, sewing, and metalworking, and this market is a chance to celebrate that effort,” said Ryan Hill, JuxtaHub’s executive director.
“Every piece was made by hand, right here in Emmaus, by someone you can actually meet. If you’re looking for a gift no one else will be giving this year, this is the place to find it.”
Participating artists include Joy Barnes, Lori Beneyton, Kat Collins, Rhiannon Davis, Pam Gontram, Jill Italiano of House of Metalworks, Tracy Maley, Karen Rauppius of Fountainwood Studio, Tory Schultz, Suzanne Montgomery Skoras, Deb Slahta and Billy Thompson.
“I’m thrilled that JuxtaHub is hosting its first holiday art market,” said resident artist Tory Schultz. “It means so much to have a space dedicated to art right here in Emmaus, my hometown, and to get to share what I create with my own community.”
Opening night doubles as November’s JuxTuesday, JuxtaHub’s free open house on the second Tuesday of every month.
Along with shopping the market, visitors can meet resident artists in their second-floor studios, watch live demonstrations on the wheel in the Ceramics Studio, and hear students from the Creative Music Institute perform all evening in the classroom.
In the Convergent Makerspace, Fix-It Night invites guests to bring in broken household items and learn to repair them alongside volunteer experts.
Light refreshments will be served, with beverages provided in part by Yergey Brewing, and Boodelicious Cakes will be on hand selling sweet treats.
After opening night, the market is open during JuxtaHub’s regular public hours: 3-8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; 3-9 p.m. Fridays; and noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays.
Saturday hours will be noon to 6 p.m. during the first three Saturdays in December. The market will also be open during the Dec. 8 JuxTuesday.
JuxtaHub will be closed on Nov. 26 and 27 for Thanksgiving before reopening on Nov. 28, with extended hours of noon to 6 p.m. on Small Business Saturday.
JuxtaHub staff run the checkout counter, and the market accepts credit and debit cards only; cash is not accepted.
