Ox-Bow School of Art and Artists’ Residency will host their first Winter Artists Market at Ox-Bow House. This seasonal event will feature artists from the local region and across the country.

The initiative supports Ox-Bow’s desire to lift up the work of both local Artists and Alumni. Launching November 26 on Small Business Saturday, the Winter Artist Market will be open Thursdays through Saturdays, 11:00-6:00 p.m until December 17. The ongoing event will take place at Ox-Bow House, the organization’s downtown Douglas programming space. Entrance to the Winter Market is free of charge, though donations for the organization are always welcomed.

The market will maintain a regional invitation to Artists, while also expanding to include Alumni of Ox-Bow. Alumni on an international level have been invited to apply to participate. On select weekends, attendees of the Winter Market can also expect the much revered Culinary Team at Ox-Bow to provide cocoa, cookies, and even cocktails to enjoy while they shop. A special Young Collectors area will be available at the market for patrons ages 2-12 to purchase gifts at youth-friendly prices.

“Exposing Ox-Bow to local artists and vice versa will benefit everyone,” says Manager of Retail Programs Maggie Bandstra, “These events and retail programs are right on a mission for Ox-Bow to connect artists to creative resources, people, and ideas surrounded by the inspiration of nature and the history of this beautiful place.”

Ox-Bow House is located at 137 Center Street, Douglas, MI 49406
