The Howard County Arts Council has teamed up with Artists Sunday this year to launch an online version of its popular Holiday Maker-Mart. Howard County artists and artisans working in a variety of media will be featured during this virtual event, which will take place over a 2-week period, from November 29 – December 14. Shoppers may choose from a variety of unique and affordable art and handcrafted items, perfect for holiday gift-giving. For complete details, visit hocoarts.org/makermart2020 after November 20.

About Artists Sunday: An art-focused shopping day the first Sunday after Thanksgiving, Artists Sunday follows Black Friday and Small Business Saturday and is the day before Cyber Monday, making it part of the largest shopping weekend of the year. Visit artistssunday.com to view the Artists Directory, with a search bar that allows you to search for artists by location – it’s a whole new way to shop local and find artists in Ellicott City, Columbia, or elsewhere in Maryland.
