Spread some extra love this season by finding those extra special gifts for those super special folks in your life whilst shopping direct from artists in your greater community!

Join us for our 4th Art & Things Holiday Market at The Stew! Saturday, December 17th from 12-4 pm and Sunday, December 18th from 12-4 pm at 925 Emerson St NW, Washington, DC.

Rose Jaffe and Jen Pape are opening their studio doors to 22 fellow artists to create an intimate, curated shopping experience where we can collectively celebrate and directly support all of our creativity - yours most certainly included! Come chat with the creators - learn about their processes, the thoughts behind their work - and get connected with their stories. And when you find that groovy something for keeps or for gifts, you can bask in the joy of knowing you are investing directly back into our community and creating opportunities for each of us to pursue creative passions. How dandy is that?

Come pop in for this art filled weekend and shop around for some truly one of a kind gifts!
